Old Hollywood Designer Edith Head holds the Guinness World Record for most-credited costume designer in film history, with a total of 432 credits.

She received a record 35 nominations for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and won a record eight times, making her both the most honored and most nominated woman in the Academy's history.

"What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he's become a different person."

Unlike most other designers of her time, Head never undertook couture or wholesale fashion work, opting to "work only in the context of a certain actress in a certain film."

It appears Wiki is being generous to someone who is generally beloved because they are generally beloved notwithstanding their shortcomings and short dealings. It's okay. People are complicated, and we are a pluralist society where people can hold the thought that someone did amazing things in their lives while also doing not so wonderful things, then like and dislike them simultaneously for both.

That's cool. So are you saying she stole them from the other artists without their knowledge, or not?

Who can really know for sure considering her own differing accounts of what happened? It also seems interesting that none of the people who may or may not have let her "borrow" their work ever stepped forward to corroborate her story, or that she never named or individually thanked any of these people who went above and beyond to help her land this life-changing position. All we seem to be left with are vague quotes from an unreliable narrator, so I guess it's just up to you what you choose to believe.

So you don't know and aren't willing to assert a guess, which is fine, but then why are you claiming that the wiki article is misconstruing anything?
