What was it about the film Titanic? Director
James Cameron's succulent pairing of heady
romance and looming disaster? A haunting
score and visual pyrotechnics? The lore of the
infamous shipwreck was a well-established
crowd-pleaser, but the 1997 blockbuster has
since redefined box office success by gross-
ing over $1.2 billion to date. In addition
to the actors' charisma and the irresistible
storyline, the costumes, which won Deborah
Lynn Scott an Oscar, underscored the plot
and characters and made them even more
beguiling. It is impossible to imagine the
film without them.
