Kim, Willa (b. 1930?), costume designer. After studying at Los Angeles's Chouinard Institute of Art, she assisted theatre designer Raoul Pene Du Bois for several years before designing in regional theatres. Kim was first noticed for her work in alternative New York productions, such as Promenade (1969), Operation Sidewinder (1970), and The Screens (1971), but eventually was in demand for big Broadway musicals. Among her many notable productions are Dancin' (1979), Sophisticated Ladies (1981), Song and Dance (1985), The Will Rogers Follies (1991), Grease (1994), and Victor/Victoria (1995). She is also a much sought after designer for dance companies and operas.
