The annual BAFTA Awards are being held in Britain. Like the Oscar treatment, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was nominated as "Best Costume Design".
The costume of this film is designed by ColleenAtwood, who has been favored by Oscar and BAFTA for many times. In the1970s, she worked as a fashion consultant in Washington. After moving to new york, she entered the film industry. After she met director Tim Burton, she was responsible for designing costumes for many films, such as Big Fish, Sleepless Valley and Battle of the Planet of the Apes.
Her most famous works are Chicago, Memories of Geisha and Alice in Wonderland. The separation of the latter two films won her an Oscar and the BAFTA "Best Fashion Design Award".
We synthesized the lecture of "Fashion Design Master Class" held by Colleen Atwood in Swarovski, and the exclusive interview with J.K. Rowling that she received in 20 1 1654381October, and published it on her website Pottermore. Some interesting highlights are as follows.
1. Design biased towards minimalism
"I prefer minimalist design, so 19' s original feeling of new york in the 1920s is the inspiration for the costume design of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
2. The new york 1920s she knew was like this.
"For new york in the 1920s,' modernity' is becoming possible. Cities are gradually expanding, such as the Lower East Side, Harlem and Bronx, and immigrants are flocking to new york. This is also the story background of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "
"I read the script, and as the story unfolded, the world I saw gradually became lifelike. I have also re-studied this history of new york, including the expansion of the city, immigrants, nobles in new york and so on. "
"I am familiar with 1920s. I did some research when designing clothes for Chicago. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Chicago were almost produced in a unified era. I have read a lot of Fitzgerald's books, and this process is very pleasant because the author is good at describing that crazy and romantic era. "
3. "From the fashion point of view, the United States accepts 1920s more than Europe."
"Designing clothes for magical animals and where to find clothes is a grand project. At first, I was a little crazy, because there are very few real' retro stocks' left from 1920s. So, the first thing I did at that time was to contact clothing companies around the world and find out those stocks under the sponsorship of some assistants. I started this search in Los Angeles, on the one hand, because there are more resources in this area in Los Angeles, on the other hand, I think from a fashion point of view, the United States embraces 1920s more than Europe, and I also want to make these clothes more American.
