Carbon Costume

The film, The Aviator, is based on the real-life Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio), an aviation pioneer and Hollywood director who succumbed to his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. The film chronicles his life from the 1920’s to the 1940’s, so his wardrobe is influenced by those time periods.

In The Aviator, Howard Hughes finds a new love interest in 15-year old Faith Domergue (Kelli Garner), after Katherine Hepburn leaves him. Because of her experience with Hughes, Faith Domergue was launched into a successful film and television career. Set in the 1920’s to the 1940’s, her wardrobe is demure and typical of the era.
