I’m definitely not the most stylish girl on the block, but with an interest in film aesthetic and design I’m often conscious of character’s physicality and outfit choice. The thought process behind every minuscule detail in CREATING a film is something that really excites me, the critical acclaim for something like costume design being unfairly small in conjunction with the work gone in. I wanted to take a look at some of the most wonderfully dressed women in film. This is for a jumble of reasons, whether for their individuality, courage, class or influence…Here we go.

EMMA RECCHI - I Am Love Tilda Swinton is the pinnacle of elegance. Her role in Luca Guadagnino’s I Am Love (Lo Sono l’amore, 2009) is essentially the summation of her as a person; as a drifting, ghostly, powerful, vulnerable matriarch. Costumer Antonella Cannarozzi wisely curates the outfits to mirror Emma’s sexual and romantic liberation. Always minimal, loosely fitted feminine wear, she develops into a much more colourful and androgynous style. The clothes are so CLASSIC, equivalent to that of Tilda’s timeless beauty.
