Dear Ms. Chapman: Your former colleague, Ralph Pietras, suggested that I contact you in regard to an exhibit that we are putting together at the Hollywood Film Museum. As you probably know, Ralph is now a curator at the museum. We are currently working together on a special exhibit that will display award winning costume designs of historical films. I am writing to request your permission to use the costume worn by one of the actors in the movie Renaissance, which was released by Gold Pictures in 1985 and won that year's award for the best costume design at the American Screen Actors Awards. I will arrange for a courier to pick up and return the costume, ensuring that it is displayed under proper conditions and so that it is cleaned by a costume preservation expert before it is returned to you. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Frederick Mathews |

The costume was hand made by Julia Chapman, who designed costumes for Gold Pictures for many years. She continues to work as a costume designer for the company today. This costume was critically acclaimed for its combination of stunning beauty and accurate depiction of 15th century Europe. |
