After watching this Oscar blockbuster, I want to throw away all the clothes in the closet.
Special feature of 1905 film network To say that the most "beautiful" award in every Oscar is not the best film or the best actress!
It’s the "Best Fashion Design" unit! (Refutation not accepted)
Winner of the Best Fashion Design Award in 2017 — —
Although it is often neglected as a technical award, it is undoubtedly an important part of the art of movie dreaming. Without clothes tailored for the role, even amazing performances will be eclipsed.
Winner of the Best Fashion Design Award in 2016 — —
The film costume design should always balance the relationship between the theme of the film and the exquisite clothes, which should not only make people unforgettable, but also avoid usurping the host’s role and test the designer’s ingenuity.
Award-winning films in the past three years — — Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Mad Max: Fury Road and others all show this point.
Award-winning film of Best Fashion Design Award in 2015 — — The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Let’s take a look at the five finalists of this year’s Oscar’s "Best Fashion Design" — — 、、、、。
This year’s finalists have featured vintage cards, which can be said to have their own advantages and strong hands. What Xiao Dianjun is going to introduce to you today is also one of the seed players. It is the Phantom Sewer starring Daniel Day Lewis.
The Phantom Sewing Craftsman is also translated into Phantom of the Dress. As soon as you hear the name, you will know that it has something to do with "fashion".
Reynolds Woodcock, the hero of the film, was also a leading figure in the fashion circle in the 1950s.
He and his sister Cyril jointly control the family brand, and the European royal family, ladies and celebrities from all walks of life are their customers. In terms of feelings, Woodcock, a talented man, is a committed celibate, letting his lover come and go around and never being moved.
However, the appearance of a young woman named Elma broke his orderly life, aroused his long-cherished enthusiasm and desire, and finally became his determined muse and lifelong companion.
In the film, "poisonous mushroom" is a "panacea" to maintain their feelings. Elma used poisonous mushrooms to show the weak side of the powerful Reynolds, and Reynolds also acquiesced in the poisoning behavior and enjoyed the careful company of his lover at his bedside when he dropped his guard.
This kind of "sadomasochism", like drinking poison to quench thirst, wandered on the edge of morality and discipline, and it caused a lot of controversy and discussion after its release.
However, the theme of the film is not the focus of Xiao Dianjun’s discussion. After all, there are different opinions on the concept of love. But regardless of the theme, the film’s powerful creative team and beautiful and retro pictures deserve its six Oscar nominations.
Director and screenwriter paul thomas anderson (PTA) won the Best Director Awards in Berlin, Cannes and Venice. At the age of 42, he became the first director to win a Grand Slam in three major international film festivals in Europe.
The leading actor is Daniel Day Lewis, who won three Oscars for best actor, and he will compete for the title of best actor again with this "mountain-closing work".
[Character prototype]
Paul thomas anderson didn’t explicitly reveal the prototype of Woodcock, but many sharp-eyed fans and fashion fans pointed out that the male protagonist is very much like the combination of cristobal Valencia, Charles James and Karl Lagerfeld, the founders of Balenciaga.
Cristobal Balenciaga
They are all typical "genius is on the left, madman is on the right" figures, who are brilliant in their own best fashion field, but they are often paranoid and eccentric in mortal life.
In order to be infinitely close to people, Daniel Day Lewis spent a year studying fashion design and sewing skills under Mark Harper, the royal designer of new york Ballet.
The core task of the training course is to restore a classic dress of the famous designer cristobal Valencia stitch by stitch.
Designed by cristobal Valencia in 1962.
It was not until this amazing evening dress was completely reproduced that Lewis agreed to officially start shooting. The three-time Oscar winner’s professionalism was well-deserved.
[Royal Designer]
To say that PTA, a fashion layman, is the biggest contributor to the "dream come true", it is naturally the fashion designer of the film — — Mark Bridges.
Designer Mark Bridges.
He is the royal designer of PTA, and they have cooperated in many works, such as,, and so on. Bridges also won the Best Costume Design Golden statuette in the 84th Oscar for his films.
Stills of The Artist
In order to restore the classic charm of British clothing in 1950s, Briggs was allowed to enter the famous V&A Museum in London and get a close look at the masterpieces in the museum, including Givenchy, Ba Erman, Balmain, the Balenciaga family, Charles Fredericksworth, the father of Gao Ding and so on.
While drawing inspiration from the master, Bridges also needs to combine the movie plot and the characters’ characteristics to tailor-made clothes with both artistic aesthetics and focus plane feeling.

Bridges’ team has designed and produced more than 50 original works for this film, including wedding dresses, evening dresses and everyday clothes. Among them, there is a set of consistent and unified spring Collection. It can be said that in order to make a movie, the whole process of a fashion show from design to display was really repeated.
