She is my love!
Bebe Rexha The Costume Designers Guild, which presented awards to “Barbie,” “Poor Things,” and “Saltburn,” also recognised her work.
Lily Gladstone, who is nominated for Best Actress at the 2018 Oscars, remarked, “The last element that I always need as an actor to really find the character is the wardrobe.” And I could not agree more.
According to her, “And often my favourite part of the collaborative, creative process is working with costume designers,” since it is common to meet someone who has given their character just as much consideration as the actor or actress has into their role. You two definitely complement one other in refining your impressions of the character you are going to spend a great deal of time with. Everything that costume designers accomplish is truly appreciated and supported by me.
At Wednesday evening’s 26th Costume Designers Guild Awards at NeueHouse in Hollywood, Gladstone showed her support for “Killers of the Flower Moon” co-creators Jacqueline West and Julie O’Keefe, who worked on the clothing for Osage.
Outstanding Achievement in Contemporary Film went to Jacqueline Durran of “Barbie” for costume design; Outstanding Achievement in Period Film went to Holly Waddington of “Poor Things”; and Outstanding Achievement in Contemporary Film went to Sophie Canale of “Saltburn” for her work on the set.
Before the show, Canale, who was visiting from London, expressed her amazement at the nomination. “This is unbelievable. I am here. The film industry has had an extraordinary year. The costumes in “Barbie,” “Napoleon,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Poor Things” were her favourites. She gushed about the latter, calling it “a showcase of absolute beautiful art history at work, “in her words.
British author and “Poor Things” creator Sarah Waddington has stated, “That was where the inspiration came from” when asked about her creative process. Additionally, I perused the garments of the early 20th century, paying special attention to the Surrealist style. The garments are really organic, inspired by nature. Shells and the body’s textures serve as inspiration for them. I was referencing a wide range of fashion eras, from the early 20th century to the present day. In addition to the 1960s, I dabbled with the 1930s.
Francine Jamison-Tanchuck earned a standing ovation when she accepted the Career Achievement Award; Danielle Brooks, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for “The Colour Purple,” was there to support her.
“I am absolutely thrilled for her,” Brooks exclaimed of Jamison-Tanchuck. No one works here alone when we accomplish this job. We are unable to simultaneously operate a boom mic, a camera, memorise lines, pen scripts, put on clothes and locate them. This is a truly remarkable occasion to be able to honour her today.
For Jamison-Tanchuck, who had been an assistant costume designer on the original “The Colour Purple,” it was a moment of complete circle.
Jamison-Tanchuck expressed her gratitude for the honour, saying, “For me to be honoured by my peers is one of the most wonderful things ever.” She cited the Costume Designers Guild, where she is surrounded by fellow artists and colleagues.
There are almost 1,200 members of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees Local 892 who work as costume designers, assistant costume designers, illustrators, or in some other capacity for the film, television, commercial, music video, or new media industries around the world.
According to Olivia Thirlby, an actor from “Oppenheimer,” “Do not even get me started” when asked about the significance of their guilds. You have to be organised if you want people to be taken care of and if you want them to be able to sustain themselves and their families. Our robust unions are essential for ensuring that we are treated fairly, paid fairly, put in good hours, and given credit for our job.
Annette Bening and Billie Eilish were both presented with awards at the event, which was hosted by Wendi McLendon-Covey.
In her Gucci ensemble, Eilish made an emotional statement while performing. My form of self-expression has always been fashion. Above all else, it serves as a means of communication, and I must admit that I am not particularly gifted in that area. Furthermore, I consider myself really fortunate to have the ability to express myself via my clothing choices, which allows me to convey my emotions and aspirations.
Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and said, “Oh my god, and Shirley you guys!” into the microphone.
Shirley Kurata, who worked with her on the costumes, was standing behind her as she accepted the award. Call out, call out, call out! What a fantastic b-ch.
