Kalloch

Robert Kalloch (1893-1953). American designer and costume designer. Fashion designer for Lucille Ltd., he had several actresses among his clients and thus entered the world of cinema. In 1933 the President of the Columbia, Harry Cohn, entrusted him with the costume department of the movie company, with the precise task of better characterizing his stars. Kalloch carried out this task perfectly, designing elegant costumes for Barbara Stanwyck (The Bitter Tea of General Yen), Claudette Colbert (It Happened One Night), and Irene Dunne. A decade later, he quit Columbia for MGM, where he dressed Judy Garland and Hedy Lamarr. His last movie was in 1948 with Mirna Loy in The House of Dreams.
