To create the film’s 4,000 “modieval” costumes, designer Jacqueline West found inspiration in painters (Goya and Giotto), nomadic tribes, Dante Alighieri’s ‘Inferno’ and ‘Goldfinger.’
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, had a blockbuster opening weekend in North American theaters.
Veteran costume designer and five-time Oscar nominee Jacqueline West — whose nominations include Dune and (most recently) Killers of the Flower Moon — talks with The Hollywood Reporter about her work creating 4,000 costumes for Villeneuve‘s latest installment of the film franchise based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel. An art historian by training, West seamlessly weaves together a vast array of art, cultural and fictional references to fashion to create a richly layered futuristic desert world in Dune: Part Two.
