yeah I think so...
no matter ^.^
Any hoozel...
For those of you that don't know (which is going to be most people I imagine) I want to become a costume designer when I'm older.
If I had to pinpoint one single person who has had a humongous impact on that, I would undoubtedly pick
Colleen Atwood.
Without me even realizing she's been the designer for many of my favorite movies (costume wise (yes, I will watch a film and comment on the costumes the entire way through)).
She's worked on Memoirs of A Geisha, Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and Sleepy Hollow to name but a few fantastic costumes.
Still think I'm talking through my ass?
The detail and consideration she puts into every costume baffles me.
It's not just "what's pretty", or "what's the character like", it's "what is that character going to be doing? 'Cause they've got to dance or jump or run, their costume has to let them do that".
That's something that I often forget. I'll remember a load of shit about foreshadowing and context, but never movement ^.^
Here are some of my favourite bits of her work...
The detail in her work is beautiful...
au revoir
