A night of cold air and silver light.
The stars arrived. Margot Robbie stood before the wall of cameras and the silk of her gown caught the glare of the flashes while the wind of a winter gale whipped the lace against her legs. Jacob Elordi walked at her side. The premiere for the film Wuthering Heights took place on the fifth of February. Mail Online provided the details of the event. The director and the cast gathered under the glow of the lanterns. I don’t pretend to have the hands of a seamstress, but I watched the tailors pull the thread through the silk for hours to understand how the garment holds its shape. Observe the pattern. The crowd cheered. The stars waved. The fabric move with the speed of a winter storm.
Behind the Scenes
Production staff employed master tailors to create the wardrobe for the press tour. These men and women used needles of steel and thread of silk. Look at the craft. The actors stood in the night sky. Call me crazy, but the choice of mesh feels like a cage for a wild thing and it mirrors the trapped spirits of the moors. The choice of lace suggests a return to the styles of the past. Fashion cycles move fast. The lanterns swayed.
Tell us what you think
The gown hides a corset of bone and mesh. We ask for your thoughts on the lace and the silk and the bone. The physical weight of the garment changes how an actress moves. Does the structure of the bone evoke the setting of the story? Tell us if the master tailors captured the spirit of the moors. We ask because the details of the wardrobe reveal the intent of the director. Join the conversation about the mesh and the flashes and the lanterns.
