Colleen Atwood

Not necessarily a household name, Colleen Atwood is the costume designer
behindmost of Tim Burton's movies. She has worked on Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd and the new  Alice in Wonderland, as well as many other Tim and non-Tim movies,including Gattaca and Lemony Snicket's, A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Obviously, I love her attention to detail, use of colors and monochromatics,
sumptuous fabrics like velvets and silks and embracing of Victorian era looks, with modern twists.
