Dressing Reese: Our Q&A with the costume maven behind the new film Water for Elephants

Comments

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.

FMcover_august08The first-ever Canadian P&G Beauty Awards were handed out last night at Toronto’s Carlu. Nia Vardalos presided over the evening, which had a list of presenters that included Jeanne Beker, designer Joeffer Caoc, CNTM’s Meaghan Waller and Style by Jury’s David Clemmer. FASHION picked up two awards—Best Fashion Feature for Karen Burshtein’s “Diary of a Couture Dress” from our Summer 2008 issue and Best Magazine Cover for our August 2008 cover with Coco Rocha. Other winners included Addison Gill for Best New Face and Janine Falcon (imabeautygeek.com) for Best Beauty or Fashion Blog.

Yeardye was meant to receive only a cash pay off in the deal but she allegedly took $6.3 million in stock. [The Cut]
