The costume designer for most of Tim Burton's work, Colleen Atwood:
Speaking of making it work, do you watch Project Runway?
I have watched Project Runway, but I’m not a devout watcher of it. But I think it’s a great show, what I’ve seen of it, and I think Tim Gunn is a very positive, amazing guy.
I ask because they’ll often dismiss something on the show as looking “too costumey,” and I’m wondering if you take offense to that.
No, because I think the street world that it’s in is different. People like to stir up the fashion vs. costume world, and I think what they mean by “too costumey” is that it’s too much, or not real enough for everyday wear. You couldn’t say that about John Galliano’s shows, right? I mean they’re awesome and they’re total costume. It’s just a different thing. They do like to slag off costumes a bit - not on that show, but in the fashion world. I don’t know why they feel they have to compete.
Interesting for me from a lolita perspective & film/costume design perspective. Lolitas aren't real, lol~
I JUST GOT UP TO DEVELOPING THE ERO LOLITA PICS IN LIGHTROOM. So slow! Still needs post proc!
