In this episode, we present a conversation with Oscar-nominated costume designer, Arianne Phillips who speaks about the ‘twist of fate’ that led her to Quentin Tarantino’s 'Once Upon A Time In...Hollywood', how Sharon Tate's family helped shape Margot Robbie's onscreen look and which items best identified Rick (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Cliff (Brad Pitt).
Known for her cutting-edge designs, and for being Madonna’s stylist, Phillips has had her work recognized with three Oscar nominations— Walk the Line, W.E and most recently, Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood. Her distinguished costume designing career also includes stylish works like A Single Man, Kingsman: The Secret Service, 3:10 to Yuma and the classic Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
In this talk recorded at the 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival, Phillips discusses her process with culture writer and film critic Nathalie Atkinson, exploring the importance of research; the teamwork and creative collaboration required to pull off a director’s vision; designing costumes for present-day movies vs period pieces; and the use of shapes, colors and textures to make an immediate and powerful visual statement to an audience.
