Director’s note: The cast and crew started tech week today and we began the morning with a hair tutorial. Resident costume designer Ilene Goldstein explained not only how to do the hair but also the cultural importance of each curl, part, and pin.
Ilene discusses why the men of the time needed to have a clean part and gelled hair.After World-War II ended women were excited to have the time, money, and resources to do elaborate hair styles again.Women were able to show off their social status by having elaborate hair styles. The more detail to the style, the wealthier you were.
