ColleenAtwood where are the amazing animals?

Britain is hosting the annual BAFTA awards.

Like Oscar's treatment, "where is the magic animal" has won the "best place".

Nomination.

The costume of the movie is designed by ColleenAtwood, and she has been favored by Oscar and BAFTA many times.

In 1970s, when she was a fashion consultant in Washington, she moved to New York and worked in the film industry.

After she met director TimBurton, she was responsible for designing films for films such as big fish, broken Valley, battle ball and so on.

Her most famous works are Chicago, geisha memoirs and Alice in Wonderland.

The last two films won her the best costume design award for Oscar and BAFTA respectively.

We synthesized the Colleen Atwood's speech in the Swarovski's "costume designer class" and her interview with J.K.Rowling in November 2016 and published an interview on her website, Pottermore. Some interesting points are as follows.

ColleenAtwood himself

1. tends to minimalism design.

"I prefer the minimalist design, so the original sense of New York in the 1820s is the inspiration of the film costume design of" where the magic animals are ".

2. she understood New York in 1920s.

"Modernity" is becoming possible for New York in the 20s of last century.

The city is gradually expanding, such as the increase of the Lower East, Harlem and Bronx, and the migration to New York.

This is exactly the story background of where the magic animals are.

"I read the script, and with the development of the story, the world I saw became more and more vivid.

I have also revisited the history of New York, including the expansion of cities, immigration, the aristocracy of New York, etc.

"I am very familiar with 1920s. When I was designing clothes for" Chicago ", I did some research in that time." where is the magic animal "and" Chicago "almost happened in the same era.

I read a lot of Fitzgerald's books. It's a very pleasant process, because the author is good at describing that crazy and romantic era.

3. "from a fashion perspective, the United States better embraced 1920s than Europe".

"To"

"Designing clothes is a huge project, and I am beginning to get a little crazy because the real" retro stock "left in 1920s is rare.

So the first thing I did at that time was to contact the global costumes companies and find out those stocks with the help of some assistants.

I started the search work in Losangeles, partly because Losangeles has more resources in this area. On the other hand, I think the United States is better than Europe in embracing the 1920s from a fashion perspective. I also want these clothes to be more American. "

4. "you have to be a little bit aloof and then borrow that era".

"I like the theme of surrealism and fantasy, which is why I choose to cooperate with" where the magic animals are ".

I like this challenge, such as adding the imagination needed by magic to the realistic background.

When designing clothes for such a movie, you have to stay out of the way and borrow that era.

In fact, this is one of the social functions of movies: they let time go on forever. "

The 5. is to design a set of costumes for the leading actor. How can we keep the audience staring at it for 1.5 hours?

However, when designing the costumes for the starring, ColleenAtwood has to deal with another question: where the magic animals are, there is only one set of costumes.

(if you recall carefully, the hero and heroine really haven't changed clothes, the most is to take off a coat, then take off a jacket, only the magic association's "female leader" for a styling).

"In the movie, the main actors won't change clothes, so I have to do a set of clothes that the audience will not bother for 1.5 hours.

It must be fun, but not too much. My material has only different fabrics and colors. "

Colleen Atwood said.

In order for the actors to blend in with the crowd actors, they appear to be somewhat different. ColleenAtwood only worked hard on the details of the costumes, such as exaggerating the wrinkles of the coat.

6. why do small freckles look "short and a little tight"?

Colleen Atwood recalls that when designing the costume for Newt Scamander, the little freckles Redmayne, he made numerous tests to make sure that his coat looked "short and tight", so as to express the strange and strange features of the character.

7. for this movie, Colleen Atwood has seen 3500 costume suits.

"I always have to take care of everything.

I will check every test suit, no matter whose dress, I have to go through my consent.

If I want everything to look like what I want, I will do everything.

This is important because a lot of things will eventually go beyond your control.

I learned the truth a long time ago, that is, you need to do everything you care about.

8. "I do the work of conceptual and creative parts, give suggestions, and sketch artists to paint."

"Of course, someone specially made these.

。

My job is only design. I work with sketching artists.

I work on conceptual and creative parts, give advice, and sketch artists to paint.

I have tailors and other staff to finish the rest. If I draw my own sketches, I can't finish my work. "
