In the early days of the film industry, the fledgling production studios had not yet established the massive industrial complex of Hollywood movie-making. Films were created almost piecemeal, thrown together in a matter of days in order to keep fresh material in front of fickle audiences. There was little room in the budget for an on-site costume designer to provide ensembles for the films, so actors generally raided their personal wardrobes to create a \u201clook\u201d for their onscreen counterparts.\u00a0In fact, actors played a large part in deciding what their characters would ultimately look like onscreen. The silent-film era saw the first \u201ccostume departments\u201d being put together in the form of a communal dressing room, of sorts, from which actors could pick and choose what they wished to wear for particular scenes. Astute modern viewers may notice that certain costumes\u2013or pieces of costumes\u2013are used in multiple films. Not only was this a cost-saving measure for early studios, but it also allowed for some creativity on the parts of performers looking to make an impression. And in the case of one notable star, it enabled the development of an iconic symbol of silent cinema.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cLittle Tramp\u201d character debuted onscreen in 1914 in a Mack Sennett<\/a> (Keystone) short,\u00a0Kid Auto Races at Venice<\/a>. The Tramp quickly became one of the most popular figures in silent films, and has endured as an idol of the period. The character was the brainchild of actor Charlie Chaplin<\/a>, but the creation of the Tramp was almost organic in its last-minute development. When Sennett told Chaplin to go make himself up for a role just before shooting, inspiration struck and the Tramp was born.\u00a0In his 1964 autobiography, Chaplin writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the way to the wardrobe I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. I wanted everything to be a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I was undecided whether to look old or young, but remembering Sennett had expected me to be a much older man, I added a small moustache, which I reasoned, would add age without hiding my expression. I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked on stage he was fully born.\u201d<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design (2007), Deborah Nadoolman Landis (noted costume designer and wife of director John Landis<\/a>) further relates the details of the Tramp\u2019s creation:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was from \u2026 [a Keystone] dressing room closet \u2026 that Charlie Chaplin gathered what became the trademark clothing of the \u2018Little Tramp\u2019 \u2026\u00a0Biographer David Robinson recounts, \u2018The legend is that it was concocted one rainy afternoon in the communal male dressing room at Keystone, when Chaplin borrowed Fatty Arbuckle\u2019s voluminous trousers, tiny Charles Avery\u2019s jacket, Ford Sterling<\/a>\u2019s size fourteen shoes which we was obliged to wear on the wrong feet to keep them from falling off, a too-small derby belonging to Arbuckle\u2019s father-in-law, and a moustache intended for Mack Swain\u2019s use, which he trimmed to toothbrush size.\u2019 Whatever the origin, this unlikely outfit transformed Chaplin into the Little Tramp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, few can argue that the Tramp\u2019s clothing defines his character. The Tramp appears to be an underdog, a symbol of humanity\u2019s struggle to endure the trials of everyday life, and because of this, he elicits our laughter, and our sympathy, from the start. The Tramp costume is essential in creating this camaraderie.\u00a0When Chaplin walks onscreen, tilting back and forth and supporting himself with an ever-present cane, the audience immediately gets an impression about him\u2013an almost clownish figure, though somehow dignified, not at all self-conscious about his ill-fitting clothes. The concept was a masterstroke on the part of Chaplin, who instinctively understood the importance of costume in defining a character.<\/p>\n

Around the same time that Chaplin was crafting the character that would define his career, filmmaker D.W. Griffith<\/a> was forming the precursor to the modern film costume department. In his final film for the Biograph studio, Judith of Bethulia\u00a0(1914),\u00a0Griffith had the costumes for the leading characters specifically designed and created by an outside source (which may have contributed to the movie\u2019s bloated budget).<\/p>\n

The conflict that arose in the wake of\u00a0Judith\u2019s\u00a0filming\u2013Biograph was displeased with the costs and with the idea of creating feature-length films instead of shorts\u2013led Griffith to leave the studio and form his own production company.\u00a0It was a wise move for the director; his desire to create longer films and experiment with new technology and modes of filmmaking led to the biggest success of his career only a year later. For the costumes in that controversial opus,\u00a0The Birth of a Nation<\/a> (1915), Griffith turned to the mother of his star, Lillian Gish<\/a>, who designed and created the outfits for the leading characters. Gish herself had a hand in the costumes for her character, Elsie: as recounted by Landis, Gish would later recall, \u201c[D]uring the famous cliff scene I experimented with a half dozen dresses until I hit upon one whose plainness was a guarantee that it would not divert from my expression in that which was a very vital moment.\u201d A year later, during the filming of\u00a0Intolerance, Griffith took his attention to costuming detail one step further, hiring Clare West, the first \u201cstudio designer,\u201d to craft costumes for not only the leads, but for all of the extras, too. Whether he intended to or not, Griffith built the template for the costume departments that would become a vital part of the studio system in later years.<\/p>\n

West was hired by Cecil B. DeMille in 1918, where she designed extravagant costumes for almost a dozen DeMille pictures. West\u2019s designs were extremely popular with the public. She dressed Gloria Swanson in Why Change Your Wife? and Something to Think About (both 1920), Norma Talmadge (pictured\u00a0below in one of West\u2019s designs) in Ashes of Vengeance,\u00a0The Song of Love (both 1923), and Secrets (1924), and was the uncredited costumer for Buster Keaton\u2019s<\/p>\n

Norma Talmadge<\/p><\/div>\n

Sherlock Jr.<\/a> (1924). West was the first designer to have this kind of sartorial partnership with a filmmaker, an arrangement that eventually gave rise to the development of studio costume departments headed by famed designers\u2013among them such notable names as Adrian (MGM 1928-1941); Helen Rose (MGM 1943-1960s); Edith Head (Paramount 1938-1967, Universal 1967-1981); Orry-Kelly (Warner Bros. 1932-1944); and Walter Plunkett (RKO 1929-1940, MGM 1946-1966).<\/p>\n

These partnerships gave each studio\u2019s films a distinctive look, and the designers\u2019 works influenced American fashion in innumerable ways. As performers took their personal wardrobe cues from the designs they sported onscreen, the star-worshiping public became enamored with the stars\u2019 style and sought to emulate it. And audiences still seek to recreate the fashions worn by current-day stars. Though modern costumers don\u2019t typically enjoy the same name recognition as their predecessors, the links between fashion and film remain undeniable, and undeniably important.<\/p>\n
