- Biography
- Fashion and costume designer Ladislas Czettel was born in Budapest, Hungary. In addition to fashion designs, Czettel created costumes for theater, opera, film, cabarets, and variety shows in Europe, such as the Folies Bergère in Paris, and the theaters of Vienna and Berlin with Max Reinhardt. From 1935 to 1938 he taught at Vienna's Reinhardt-Seminar. In 1938 Czettel fled Germany for London, and then New York, where he taught at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School for Social Research, and created costumes for several operettas, including Rosalinda (1942), and Helen goes to Troy (1944). He died in 1949 in New York City.
