After Earth
Using the rules of nature in a fiction movie is using God’s gifts to an extent. In After Earth, the costume designer, Amy Westcoat, drew inspiration from what surrounds us all year round. Nature. Apparently, beetles change their color when in danger and when they die. The main character’s protective suits go through changes throughout the movie to resemble exactly that.
This choice of effect emphasizes how undetached we are and how connected we are to Mother Earth. It highlights our attachment to nature and how similar humans and other creatures are, and it also shows how nature is stronger than mankind.
House of Gucci
In some movies, only the real stuff will do. No matter how hard the costume designers work, if the producers want to create an authentic movie, they have to source for the roots. The House of Gucci could not do with amateur costumes — they had to get their hands on some real Gucci wardrobe. The fashion house gave the movie's costume designers access to the vintage archive, which was basically like winning the jackpot.
There are astonishing pieces, exquisite suits, and some dresses and tops we could only dream of wearing. Fact; the entier Gucci wardrobe was taken back to its origins at the end of the shooting, no point in going to look for them.
Alice in Wonderland
In the 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland, the costume designers and the producers used a bit of humor to emphasize some characteristics of the Queen of Hearts. The designer changes the proportions of the Queen, making her waist look extremely thin and her neck looks relatively too long.
They wanted to emphasize how lacking in taste the queen was by dressing her in a gown with cheap gold hearts, looking so artificial and low-cost. How like in reality, people go after the big names, not realizing that there is nothing to them....but only a big name. After all, the queen in this version of the story was a bit cheesy.
Crimson Peak
Colors have a very significant lead in movies. Cold colors such as blue and purple decorate harsh scenes, while yellow and green adorn scenes of innovation and birth. A color that has always stood for wealth and richness is undoubtedly gold. In the movie Crismon Peak, Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is often seen in the golden costumes to emphasize her status in the movie.
Custing is the beautiful daughter of Carter Cushing, a wealthy businessman. She is curious, intelligent, and unconditionally kind, continuously asking questions about the unknown. Saying that she is naive and falls for the traps of those with less good-hearted intentions.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Being a costume designer in a movie that takes place in the future is like working on a white canvas. No one really knows what innovation the clothing industry will have in a few decades from now, so the skies are the limit. The designer can create whatever they want; there are no limitations, and no one can say that it dosen't look authentic.
In Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the soldier's uniform had to be made of silicone molds. 3-D models were taken apart, the silicon and polyurethane were poured. If you can think of it, you can create it.
