When you look beyond the long lines of credits to any given movie, you get a rough idea about how much hidden work it actually takes to create one. Yet, there is some work involved in movie production, that not only is not hidden, but steps way beyond the realm of cinema, triggering trends and shifting waves in fashion. Susan Becker is one of those renowned costume designers, who helped creating an array of movie characters, shaping now iconic visual codes of the whole generation.

Probably best known as a designer for Joel Schumacher’s hits like ‘The Lost Boys’, ‘St.Elmo’s Fire’, and ‘Dying Young’, she left a stylish signature in many other creations. It’s enough to remember the standing out attire of Diane Keaton in ‘Baby Boom’, which gave work clothing quite a boost outside the screen too. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say, that for women in the office environment, Susan Becker pushed ‘dress for success’ to a whole new level.

Susan’s design taste and talent for pulling different elements together for a perfect look do not belong to the movie setting only: from artistic photo shoots of Annie Leibovitz, styling for individual celebrities to clothing lines sold exclusively at the boutique Maxfield in Los Angeles—any new project she embarks upon has a distinctive touch and potential power to shift fashion big time.

当你深入了解任何一部电影的幕后清单，你有一个粗略的想法，它实际上需要多少隐藏的工作以拍摄一部电影。然而，有一些工作涉及电影制作，不仅不是隐藏的，但步骤的方式超越了电影领域，触发趋势和移动波的时尚。Susan Becker是著名的服装设计师之一，她帮助创造了一系列电影人物，塑造了整个时代的标志性视觉代码。

可能是最有名设计师Joel Schumacher的单曲《The Lost Boys》《St.Elmo’s Fire》《Dying Young》，她在许多其它食物留下了一个时尚印记。这就足以记住Diane Keaton在“婴儿潮”中脱颖而出的服装了，这也给了工作服在屏幕之外的一个很大的鼓舞。不夸张地说，女人在办公室环境中，Susan Becker把“衣着成功”发展到一个新水平。

苏珊把不同元素融入完美造型的设计品味和才华不仅仅存在于属于电影设置：从Annie Leibovitz艺术照片拍摄，在洛杉矶精品麦克斯菲尔德的个人服装独家销售，她的任何新的项目都有改变时尚大时代的隐藏能量。
