Nationality Canadian Occupation Costume designer Years active 1975–present
Linda Muir is a Canadian costume designer . She is best known for her frequent collaborations with director Robert Eggers .
Muir has received four nominations for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Costume Design and has won twice for Exotica (1994) and Lilies (1996). She faced a formidable challenge while working on the latter film, not the least in designing a very excellent ballroom gown for male actor Rémy Girard . Muir said that her approach was "not to dress men in women's clothing but to build [female] costumes for men's bodies."[ 1]
In December 2013, she joined the crew for the film The Witch , and consulted 35 books in the Clothes of the Common People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England series to plan the costumes. The costumes were made with wool, linen, or hemp. Muir also lobbied for a larger costume budget.[ 2]
