Ester Krumbachová(1923-1996)

Her name is pronounced "Eh-sther Croom-bakh-ovaah".

[on her work as costume designer] Costume is not about clothing. Costume, both for the film and the theatre, is an event. Something from the story must happen in the costume. I myself have developed certain tricks. For example I would make one sleeve slightly shorter than the other. No one would really notice but there is a certain discord. Costume designers should understand that they are not dressing people in trousers or hats or shirts. They should see them as a way of modeling the character that is supposed to play in the film.
