Costume design, textiles and film

I thoroughly enjoyed my research on costume design in film, Colleen Atwood, an Oscar winning designer for her work for the character 'Queen Ravenna' in the film Snow white and the Huntsman (2012). Anna Biedrzycka-sheppard for her work, of the titular character in disney's Maleficent (2014); and Isis Mussenden for her designs for the character 'the white witch' in the 2005 version of The lion the witch and the wardrobe. My research on Colleen Atwood was particularly exciting as she had worked on other costumes in film of a similar genre like, Tim Burton's Alice in wonderland (2010) and Into the woods (2014).

The textures and shapes that she used on these costumes are beautifully detailed, she used a wide variety of materials such as bones, wire and feathers with the necklines and crowns have a strong reference to the medieval era, appropriate for the time setting of the film but also the characters personalty and social status. Each designer has perfectly captured and thought about the time setting, environment, through colour and texture and kept true to the fundamental characters' iconic qualities while expressing themselves new materials and refreshing ideas, and I am happy to have researched these designers. I own none of these images, no copyright infringement intended.
