PART B COSTUME DESIGNER: Sandy Powell “I Really Always Start with the Cloth PART B COSTUME DESIGNER: Sandy Powell “I really always start with the cloth. The Fabric will give me an idea what to make with it – if I find a fabric I fall in love with, I’ll make a costume around that” – Sandy Powell PATHWAY INTO COSTUME DESIGNING AND TRAINING: Sandy Powell was born on the 7th of April 1960 and learnt how to sew from an early age by her mother. Her mother used to make clothes for her and her sister as well as their dolls. She showed an interest in the shape, fabric and design and soon started to make her own clothes. She started off her university studies at Central Saint Martin’s in a theatre design degree however she didn’t finish this degree. In the summer after her second year of university she enrolled in a dance class run by the British choreographer, Lindsay Kemp. Dance was not her strong suit; however, she did become good friends with Lindsay Kemp, which lead her to start to work in the theatre, without completing her studies. For the next year she worked as who worked at many different theatres an assistant for a costume designer and then began to work on her own commissions. She met a film director called Derek Jarman who advised her, since she was thinking of working on films, to get a little more experience before doing so. Sandy chose to work on music videos as they were closer to film than theatre but not so large scale. After gaining experience for roughly a year, Jarman asked her to design the costumes for a film that he was directing called Caravaggio. Sandy learnt a lot on this film as it was her first ever and had a very low budget so everyone in the crew had to help out in all aspects. She credits Derek Jarman as her biggest inspiration and influence in costume making. CONTRIBUTION TO THE FILM /THEATRE INDUSTRY: Over the years of Sandy Powell’s still going career, she has been nominated for over 75 awards and won 30. This includes being nominated for 12 Oscars and winning 3 of them: • In 1999: Best Costume Design for Shakespeare in Love (1998) • In 2005: Best Achievement in Costume Design for The Aviator (2004) • In 2010: Best Achievement in Costume Design for The Young Victoria (2009) She has also been nominated for 12 British Academy Film Awards and won 2: • In 1999: Best Costume Design for Velvet Goldmine (1998) • In 2010: Best Costume Design for The Young Victoria (2009) Sandy Powell has some films that she has won multiple awards for.

The very top layer was made from a silk crepeline, which is a very lightweight silk. Under this there is three layers of an incredibly expensive synthetic fabric called yumissima, which is extremely light. These two fabrics made the dress look as light as air even though the whole dress actually weighed about five kilograms. It has a lightweight steel crinoline to create shape, on top of this a three-layered petticoat made from organza, on top of that many layers of tulle. All 8 dresses took 20 people and 4000 hours to create all of them, each of which were slightly different to cater for the different scenes. Each dress has about 250 metres of fabric and over six and a half kilometres of thread, as well as 10,000 hand-glued Swarovski crystals. The top of the dress was decorated with delicate handmade butterflies. Sandy Powell says that she finds it more difficult to design for inherently “good” characters because you can’t exaggerate as many things. Cinderella’s dress was no exception she said that “It had to stand out in a crowd, yet be the simplest dress in the room.” The costumes throughout the film were both based on the 19th century as well as the 1940’s and 50’s. She said that, after working with the director, the costumes would be based off the 19th century, however make the film look as though it had been filmed in the 1940’s and 50’s. The ball scene had a big impact on deciding this because it is such an iconic and memorable scene. They wanted big dresses so 1940’s and 50’s fit this, especially for the stepmother’s dress. Shakespeare in Love (1998) CostuMe: Shakespeare’s Jacket Actor: Joseph Fiennes Character: Shakespeare Joseph Fiennes, as Shakespeare, wares a fitted grey-blue leather jacket throughout the movie with different variations depending on the situation in the scene. The jacket sometimes appears as just a vest over a flowy top. Sandy Powell says that it could be thought of as “the Elizabethan equivalent of a denim jacket today”. The jacket stays fundamentally the same throughout the movie, however it is adapted to fit the scene that Joseph Fiennes is in. This creates continuity and consistency for the character and gives him a defining feature that he can be remembered for. In some scenes it is seen without sleeves, whilst in others it appears slightly longer to make it seem more formal. The jacket has quilting which creates texture, body and texture to the costume. This meant that the silhouette of Joseph Fiennes was strengthened and more defined. Carol (2015) CostuMe: Carol Actress: Cate Blanchett Character: Carol Sandy Powell worked closely with Cate Blanchett to create all her costume for Carol. This particular costume had to contrast with the other main character Therese, played by Rooney Mara. Carol is an “older, sophisticated, elegant, middle-class woman with money” and therefore would be able to afford nice clothes and the costume reflects this as she is wearing a fur coat made from vintage blonde mink fur. Sandy Powell chose the fur coat because it was an item that would make easily spotted in a crowded department store yet not look out of place. The choice of the colours was based on what was fashionable in the period that the film was set as well as making sure that they worked well with Cate Blanchett’s colouring. “Carol is particularly interesting because it is 1952, and 1952 is not the Fifties people think of because it still looks like the Forties. It is a transitional period” – Sandy Powell Gangs of New York (2002) CostuMe: Bill the Butcher Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis Character: Bill the Butcher Sandy Powell worked closely with the director (Martin Scorsese), who really focuses on the look of the costume and what they are made of.
