The Art of the Character: Highlights from the Glenn Close Costume Collection

 Jepson Center
Throughout her storied career, actress Glenn Close has collaborated closely with costume designers to help bring the characters she embodies to life. Inspired by the creativity and craftsmanship she saw in her film and theater productions, she began collecting and preserving costumes and accessories from her projects after her first movie, The World According to Garp (1982). In 2017, she donated her over 800-piece collection to the Sage Fashion Collection in the School of Art, Architecture + Design at Indiana University.
