Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory
scene from Taming of the Shrew Liz's duds are not by Donati, they are Irene Sharaff's designs. They don't suck or anything, but you can see they don't have the same feel as Donati's. Donati also did Zeffirelli's Romeo Juliet, I hate it when some star uses pull to get thier own designer or make up person over the designer for the rest of a movie and you're right, it does show. As for Zeffirelli, he is a one-time costume designer and good at it, too, so you can always count on him for quality, -C.

Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory
I saw Romeo and Juliet in high school, and I remember my teacher pointing out that the Capulets were in warm colors-reds, yellows, oranges-,while the Montegues were in cool colors-blues, greens, browns, and after Juliet marries Romeo, she's in the cool colors. I wouldn't have noticed that on my own. -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of albert...@aol.com Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 8:19 PM To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory In a message dated 1/18/2009 3:01:51 A.M.

It comes out of the text really. The Montagues we don't know too much about, but we spend oodles of time at the Capulets, who give parties, and fight and quarrel at home as well as in the streets. Juliet is vivacious and full of energy so warm colors seem to suit them. Romeo on the other hand starts out melancholy so cool tones seem right for him and his fellows. Also one sometimes sees the Capulets as city folk and the Montagues as country folk. **A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory
The neat thing is that when we visited the Cerratelli Foundation (enormous costume warehouse between Florence and Pisa) we saw the actual gown Taylor wore in the beginning of the movie. The same one she wore when she jumped into the wool as well as some of the Romeo and Juliet costumes :) I watched that DVD a few days ago. Danilo Donati's costume are so good.

Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory
As a designer and patternmaker who's job went off-shore in 2003, this makes me want to cry. Hmm, the area I grew up in had plenty of textile mills, garment factories and footwear factories up until the '70s. I did work with some when I was young and wish those places were still around -- not just because of the great workmanship that came out of them: I also have fond memories of sneaking into what we called the wool factory on Sunday afternoons as a kid to spend hours leaping from the rafters into gigantic vats of shorn wool. Still, there could be an up-side to the pictures posted. Any really bright squatters would have been able to completely outfit themselves in quality clothing and gone out in search of a job! -C.

A little Googling brought me to this: http://www.citypaper.com/printStory.asp?id=7347 However, the article dates from 2004, and the photos are from 2009, and indicate that the salvage is only just beginning. So it may or may not be the same salvage operation as described in the paper. Someone with time to hunt around the Baltimore Sun archives could probably find more about the ownership and intended use of the property.

Re: [h-cost] Photos of abandoned garment factory
Wow...it is strange when they just sorta leave one day and close the door Well, at least the homeless can get an overcoat! On a film I worked (a horrible chase film that never came out) one of our locations was an abandoned textile mill near Ramseur, NC. It was like these photos, crumbling and messy, with huge factory looms still threaded up! I took home some huge spools of brightly colored thread to use as brickerbrack. They were beautiful. I also costumed an awful HBO film called Florida Straits where we filmed in the abandoned nuclear power plant in Gaffney, SC. (where the giant peach is on I-95) They too just stopped working on it one day and left. It was an amazing place. Large expanses of concrete that (watch out!) would just drop off 15 feet into some man made concrete gorge. Nature was encroaching and there would be pools of water, silt, dirt and plants growing in the corners of these drop-offs. Some had saplings and small trees in them with birds nesting. Then you'd come upon a forest of rusting steel conduit rising 10 feet out of the concrete and going on for yards and yards. There was a hugeand I mean huge cooling tank that could be filled with water. They filmed The Abyss there. My favorite thing that I wanted to steal as a memento was a sign bolted (alas) to the concrete wall (I couldn't get it down) that said: ANYONE CAUGHT URINATING IN THIS FACILITY WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISIPLINARY ACTION Athe good ol' days when I did films! **A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
