Founded in 1965 by costume designer John Bright, Cosprop was involved in the creation of several Academy Award®-nominated and Oscar-winning designs such as “Dangerous Liaisons” or “Titanic”. Costume houses such as Cosprop provide offices, research facilities, historic and modern costume stock, and expert manufacturing facilities, thereby acting as the creative hub of the costume design community.
