The highly-anticipated NetflixUK film’s costume designer talks us through all the details to look out for in 'Persuasion'.
So, with Dakota as Anne, her stompy boots have something of Debbie Harry in them, the shirting is quite Patti Smith and you see Audrey Hepburn in those jackets with the delicate shoulders. With the other characters, there were lots of paintings and references from the period on the mood board, but I also looked at Katharine Hepburn for Lady Russell, Vincent Cassel for Mr Elliot, and Bruce Springsteen and Steve McQueen for Captain Wentworth.
Yeah, I think I made everyone a bit nervous because, for Anne, everything was quite dark at the start, but Carrie really went with it. Her daywear is monochromatic because, when we first meet her, she’s gotten a bit stuck in this world of her memories. Then, we brought in more colour, and more jewel tones in particular.
Anne’s look is so different from that of her sisters. What are the specific elements that distinguish it from their style? When she’s at Kellynch Hall, you get the sense that she doesn’t really fit in that world. I like an Empire line and some of Anne’s dresses have them, but others favour a waistline, like the house coat we often see her in and the linen coat she wears in Lyme. They look more timeless. Lady Russell’s garments often favour a waistline too and I loved the idea of keeping the two of them as these very individual personalities who support and inspire each other.
