Few movie costumes are as unsettling as the one worn by Pennywise, the sinister clown portrayed by Bill Skarsgård in the 2017 horror film It. On display at the Hollywood Museum, this original costume is a fascinating example of how fashion design can help bring a character’s disturbing personality to life.

Designed by Janie Bryant, known for her work on Mad Men and Deadwood, the outfit deliberately avoids the familiar look of a brightly colored circus clown.

122 Rue Du Temple is the Paris address from which artist Jacques Villegle detached many of the movie posters and political notices that he used to make this work in 1968. After tearing fragments of the original images, he pasted these passages of color, text, and image into a chance composition. Many of the fliers used here announced the city’s May 1968 student and worker demonstrations, and the artist considered the people who had posted them to be his collaborators, understanding their use of advertising billboards as a precursor for his process.
