Barbara Karinska

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Varvara Zhmoudsky, better known as Barbara Karinska or simply Karinska (1886 - 1983), was costumer of the New York City Ballet, and the first costume designer ever to win the Capezio Dance Award, for costumes "of visual beauty for the spectator and complete delight for the dancer". However, she designed the costumes for a few non-musical films as well, such as the 1953 French adaptation of La Dame aux Camélias. Along with Dorothy Jeakins, she won the 1948 Oscar for the costumes for Joan of Arc, and was nominated in 1952 for the Samuel Goldwyn musical Hans Christian Andersen, starring Danny Kaye. She divided her time between homes in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and Domremy, France, the birthplace of Joan of Arc. For the stage, she designed the costumes for George Balanchine's production of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, among others.
