Barbara Karinska
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 Camelias.
