Career
[edit]Howe received her first BAFTA Costume Design nomination for Bugsy Malone, directed by Alan Parker. David Puttnam, the film's Executive Producer, described how for this musical featuring only child actors the team were committed to a faithful 'uncompromising' recreation of the gangster world of New York 1929. Howe and her army of helpers had to supply nearly 500 cut-down but absolutely authentic 1920s costumes.[4] The costumes which were made by theatrical costumiers Wallace & McMurray, were acquired by the BFI for the Museum of the Moving Image on the South Bank.
