Dressing Reese: Our Q&A with the costume maven behind the new film Water for Elephants
Flapper enthusiasts (and R-Patz devotees) rejoice! The much-anticipated romantic drama, Water for Elephants, finally opens next Friday April 22nd. Based on Sara Gruen’s novel of the same name, Elephants tells the story of two star-crossed lovers who bond over their shared care of a circus elephant during the Great Depression.
The festooned celebration of circus days gone by casts Reese Witherspoon as the spectacle’s star and Robert Pattinson as her awe struck paramour. Its not often that a period piece as rich in visuals as this on comes along, a feat which is largely attributed to the costume design of Jacqueline West, a designer who has already worked on such films as The Social Network and The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons⎯the latter of which she garnered an Oscar nomination for. We were lucky enough to chat with West on her opulent vision for the film as well as how she got to where she is today.
