A Tale of Two Denims
Can modern denim be used in historical costume movies? Let’s find out!
I have to agree 100% with the post. Happened to see costumes from The Favourite at FIDM’s formerly annual movie costume exhibition. Honestly don’t care for monochrome on purpose but they worked, and I totally get the use of denim for kitchen staff garments. I felt a little sad that they had that beautiful atmospheric watercolor for the MQoS inspo displayed on a gallery wall, because it was ethereal compared to the costumes. Can’t remember quite why I took no photos, and wonder whether or not those costumes were actually on display, while I can still picture the display for The Favourite costumes in my mind. Go figure.
