00:02 Holly came in with so many boards and so many ideas
00:10 that were just brilliant.
00:12 I flew to Athens before our rehearsal process
00:14 to do a long early fitting with Holly and Yorgos.
00:17 This was not gonna be a very traditional period film,
00:21 so we could work with layers of garments
00:24 that we would never normally see in films.
00:27 I sort of reserved all really strong yellows
00:29 for her. We spent ages trying to achieve
00:31 this shade of mango yellow that Yorgos liked so much.
00:35 This is the ocean liner costume.
00:37 It's very much about her and Harry
00:39 being in this pale costume.
00:40 The silhouette of the period creates
00:41 this super svelte female body
00:44 by making the shoulders huge.
00:46 Everybody's costume is gorgeous.
00:52 I could walk down Fifth Avenue with this today.
00:56 Then actually look cool. (CHUCKLES)
00:58 Men were very peacockish in the Victorian age.
01:01 I mean, I probably had like 15 fittings.
01:03 Everything was tailor-made.
01:05 I think Holly really is incredibly brilliant.
01:08 The ideas that she was coming up with
01:10 were very challenging to execute,
01:12 and were all deeply thought through and inspired.
