@dumsunny @MIUCClAMUSE You and I both hate this dress and both hate the impact Watson had on it. But saying that it has nothing to do with Durran’s ability as a costume designer is misunderstanding what a costume designer does
@dumsunny @MIUCClAMUSE Maybe not but she’s still responsible for the construction, sourcing, and fit of the dress. Like, that’s what being a department head is about? Even if she doesn’t include it in her reel Duran still has the credit. CGI is in post when the designer has usually already wrapped.
@dumsunny @MIUCClAMUSE She’s still got the CDG credit on it. Professionally designers always going to have to balance difficult talent and bad producer takes and budget constrains. Costume design is unfortunately not just pretty dresses .
@notimetobehere@karenkho Rayon isn’t plastic! It’s still bad, but not based on petroleum. “Microplastic debris” is should be synthetic fiber debris - celluloid based fibers still don’t biodegrade as well as natural fibers. (Google uses AI to generate pull quotes. Always read the full article)
@PortiaCornell@karenkho@pica_hudsonia Link says it’s plant pulp, so I’m not really sure what she’s going on about…like rayon is bad for the environment for different reasons, mostly the extremely toxic chemicals used to produce it. Tenocell is the slightly more ethical variety but it’s still proprietary afaik.
#Barbie director Greta Gerwig held her ground against studio executives and refused to cut a scene where Barbie meets an elderly woman, as they believed it was unimportant:
“To me, this is the heart of the movie. If I cut that scene, I don’t know why I’m making this movie. If I don’t have that scene, I don’t know what it is or what I’ve done.”
@marknotfound@dieworkwear Also when you put a cut into a tailored pant it’s integrated as part of the hem, not just turned up. So it has to be a style choice/placed in at the time of the hemming.
