You'd be hard-pressed to identify film costumes as widely recognizable as the ones introduced to us in The Wizard of Oz (1939); Take Dorothy's ruby red slippers that are on display at the Smithsonian as an obvious example.

Chu, he was essentially tasked with reintroducing audiences to pieces they've been long familiar with in a distinct and new light.
