The Wolfman is director Joe Johnston’s remake of a 1941 film of the same name. It is set during the Victorian era, late 1880s to be precise. The costume design is by Milena Canonero (Ocean’s 12, The Darjeeling Limited). We have Benicio del Toro in the title role as Lawrence Talbot, a man inflicted…

Post a comment. Leave a Trackback (URL). As office vamp Joan Holloway, Christina Hendricks gets the lion’s share of provocative outfits on 1960s set TV drama Mad Men. And although her delectable figure is probably more curvy fifties than straight-up-and-down sixties, Christina rocks this dress like it was made especially for her. This particular outfit is actually a break from her character’s norm. It’s brighter, younger and trendier than Joan’s typical attire. Still sexy, but fun with it; evocative of…

With exclusive insight from The Hangover (2009) costume designer Louise Mingenbach, we investigate how clothing defined character and brought this chucklesome movie to life. The Hangover begins with Doug (Justin Bartha) sharing a tailor’s fitting with his soon to be brother in law Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Alan confides in Doug just how excited he is to be attending his bachelor party. Wearing a jock strap for no conceivable reason we get the idea that maybe not all of Alan’s dogs are barking. Next we meet school teacher Phil (Bradley Cooper), the kind of man who embezzles money from his pupils for their school trip and siphons it into his Las…

© 2011, Universal Pictures Colleen Atwood does it AGAIN. Yep, no surprises that the very ‘costumey’ delights of Snow White & The Huntsman are every bit as jaw dropping as hoped. Frankly, the trailer is brilliant. This is Snow White, but not as you know it, as Kristen Stewart steps into the lead role displaying all the grit and steely bad-ass she can muster. Even more impressive is Charlize Theron as Ravenna, the Evil Queen. Her costume swathed in lustrous gold, feathers or fur, silky superior voice echoing throughout; she may outwardly recall a certain Dior perfume advert, but with such promise as to what a vindictive vixen her jealous…
