Costume Designer Julie Weiss

I just saw the movie Secretariat, it is a great story about the journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Diane Lane plays Housewife and mother Penny Chenery, who has taken over her sick father's Virginia based Meadow Stables. Against all odds, Chenery with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich) succeeds in a male dominated business.
I really enjoyed the film, but I was just fascinated by the clothes that Diane Lane wore throughout the movie.  I had a hard time finding good pictures of her wardrobe to share with you. I specially love the navy blue and white dress (2nd picture), you'll just have to watch the movie to get a better look.



I learned that designer Julie Weiss designed all of Diane's wardrobe, in my opinion she did an amazing job. Julie is truly talented, she is worked in countless films and has an extensive and diverse body of work. I love her approach to designing, below you can see a short video of Julie and her design process.
