You must be sick of hearing me talk about the Simshar première by now but 'I'm so excited..I just can't hide 'it........remember Sunday 27th ...wohooooo...get dressed up..... I'm scouting :)
I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing costume designer extraordinaire Ernest Camilleri and we got to discussing the huge differences between working on a film and working in fashion and whilst his interview will follow suit very very soon..in the meantime I thought it would be fun to list these differences:
Intention
Fashion : Worn by a model or a person as fashion statement
Costume : Worn by an actor/actress to convey a character and idea of a person.
Appearance
Fashion : The focus is on making the person in question look awesome.
Costume : The focus is on making sure the person's looks fit the character. This might mean making the person look ugly and making the person wear something that really doesn't flatter them..so yes it might even mean making the person look fatter than they are...
Planning
Fashion : The focus is most often on incorporating current trends and styles in interesting ways.
Costume : The focus is on researching the period, living situation, economic climate of the character in question and ensuring the costume meets all criteria.
Colour
Fashion : The focus is on the person' skin tone/ current trends / shoot theme
Costume : The focus is on the scene's mood ..colour can help to convey certain moods, infact Ernest apparently made use of this technique throughout Simshar.
Check back for Ernest's interview coming very very soon !!!
