Laurie Greenan
Laurie Greenan (born Kiloran Greenan New York City November 20, 1947), worked as a wardrobe supervisor, costume maker and designer from 1976 to the late 1980s creating stage clothing for a series of rock musicians. She was described as “a Gloria Vanderbilt of heavy metal haute couture”〔Young, Jon “Mean Duds: A Heavy Metal Must” Musician, no71 September 1984〕 or more simply Queen of Heavy Metal〔Grant, Janet "The quiet life suits Mount Dora's 'Queen of Heavy Metal'", South Florida Sun, Orlando Sentinel, 8 December 1985〕 as a sought after professional with a track record in dressing male performers. Greenan established her reputation as a designer over a seven-year period working as wardrobe manager for the rock band Kiss. She subsequently designed costumes for other rock acts specializing but not exclusively working with heavy metal bands. Artists who commissioned designs include Judas Priest, Manowar, Todd Rundgren, Tom Waits and Billy Squier. She worked closely with individuals such as Billy Idol, and Rob Halford to devise costumes that recharged their stage image.〔Young,Jon "Mean Duds: A Heavy Metal Must" Musician, no71 September 1984〕
==Biography==
Born in New York City, Greenan’s early childhood was spent traveling across the United States with her father, a journeyman printer, and her mother, a secretary who was a highly skilled seamstress. Throughout these years Greenan developed her sewing skills, making her own clothes from the age of 12.〔
The family returned to New York City where Greenan completed high school. She began her career the summer of her graduation in summer stock theater where she worked for the next few years. This included a season with the Trinity Square Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island working as their sole wardrobe mistress. At 18 she was, according to the artistic director, the youngest wardrobe mistress working in a government funded repertory company in the U.S.〔email interview November 2009〕 Her formal education continued at Hunter College as an art major followed by courses at the Traphagen School of Fashion for pattern making and grading. Becoming costume historian at the Brooks-Van Horn Costume Company in New York City led to work as a wardrobe stylist and prop buyer for commercial photographers and filmmakers. It was through the pornographic film industry〔S.E.G."Promptbook", Dramatics, Jan/Feb 1978〕 with its more casual employment practices that Greenan secured membership to the trade union IATSE - International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. This enabled her to progress into working as a commercial photographer’s stylist on advertising campaigns for major corporations such as Eastman Kodak, Seagram and General Mills. By 1973 she was freelancing as an art director working on brands including Tide, Purina, Clorets, Lipton. She worked on various high profile projects celebrating the United States Bicentennial including the Bicentennial issue of Time Magazine.〔Bolles, Marie “Hand-crafted homeworks are Kiloran’s trademark” Leesburg Commercial, January 7–8, 1984〕
Her first work in film was as a researcher and associate art director for “American Years” (1976, 48min) directed by Francis Thompson and Jan Kadar for the City of Philadelphia celebrating the US Bicentennial. At 48 minutes long, this was one of the earliest features produced in the IMAX 70mm format.〔()〕
