Costume Appreciation: Born to Kill (1947)

Costumes by Edward Stevenson

While there are plenty of striking elements that make up Born to Kill, as soon as I finished watching it, I knew I had to go back and get screencaps of all the great outfits Claire Trevor wore in it.

Edward Stevenson is credited under “Gowns by” but the name didn’t immediately ring any bells for me. When I looked up his other credits however, wow! There are so many movies he worked on (particularly in the 1940s) that feature costumes I’ve found enviable in the past. Working at RKO, Stevenson did the costumes for Dance, Girl, Dance (1940), Out of the Past (1947), The Woman on the Beach (1947), The Curse of the Cat People (1944), Murder, My Sweet (1944), Suspicion (1941), and Journey into Fear (1942) just to name a few. If only I could copy paste all those women’s wardrobes into mine!

Stevenson began at RKO in 1935 working under Bernard Newman and the two shared a common mindset that the styles they created for women on screen should not just be desirable for audience members but also sensible for real life, positioning Hollywood as a primary influence in women’s fashion. (Both Newman & Stevenson worked in ready-to-wear fashion as well as costuming, so this philosophy makes a lot of sense.) That said, it’s kind of funny to me that I’m living in 2022 and I’m still attracted to his designs from 70+ years ago precisely because they look so chic but totally wearable.

If you read my post from a while back about Lucille Ball, you might remember that Stevenson’s tenure with RKO overlaps with Ball’s. And, in fact, Stevenson costumed her in over a dozen films there. Ball remembered this while making I Love Lucy, and Stevenson became her stalwart costumer for film and television until his death in 1968. When I was a kid/teen watching I Love Lucy reruns, I always loved Ball’s costumes on the show. Even though 1950s style has never really been my favorite decade for fashion, I loved how stylish but comfortable Ball always looked. Like, she’s believably a NYC housewife who cares about how she’s dressed but still has a budget to stick to. (The deep v-neck + turtleneck + cigarette pants combo? Perfection.)
