Universal City, California – Universal Studios Hollywood offers guests an opportunity to take home a piece of Hollywood history – and, perhaps, a fashion find as well – with the introduction of its retail store, “The Wardrobe Department,” offering a broad selection of eclectic clothing and unique collectibles from popular television and movie productions.
Each item is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, documenting the television or movie production on which the item was originally worn or utilized. In addition to clothing, the store will have limited numbers of other Hollywood must-haves, including cue cards and props.
Larry Kurzweil, President of Universal Studios Hollywood, said: “This unique new venture reaffirms our commitment to providing guests with an authentic Hollywood experience while allowing us to partner with our sister companies in showcasing exciting new film and television programming.”
Popularly priced wardrobe pieces range in sizes for both men and women and run the gamut from haute couture and contemporary chic to one-of-a-kind items custom tailored to fit a key actor. Among the shows represented in the “Wardrobe Department” collection are such favorites as “Will & Grace,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Law & Order,” “American Dreams,” “Passions,” “The Dennis Miller Show,” “Crossing Jordan” and “Heist.” Merchandise varies as product arrives regularly from numerous television and movie productions.
