Three time Academy Award-winning costume designer Anthony Powell had an interesting range of films, from costume period films to more contemporary settings, working with an impressive list of directors such as Steven Spielberg, Roman Polanski, George Cukor and William Friedkin. Powell contributed with the fashion and style of iconic characters like Indiana Jones, Cruela de Vil and Hercule Poirot in several films, and also works that bring a touch of class whether being the refined looks of the characters in Frantic (1988) or the colorful and detailed extravagance of a fantasy like Hook (1991), transforming Dustin Hoffman into an authentic and menacing pirate.
Right with his second film credit, Travels with My Aunt (1972), he won his first Oscar, an award he would receive two other times for his works in Death on the Nile (1978) and Tess (1979), and three other nominations for Pirates (1986), Hook (1991) and 102 Dalmatians (2000). But audiences were more familiar with Powell's career with the successful Indiana Jones trilogy (1981, 1984 and 1989), where he explored styles representing the early 20th Century in fascinating compositions, and the iconic hat and whip of Jones.- Costume Designer
