00:00I wanted to bring my own voice to the world of Wicked embodied by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba

00:08and Ariana Grande as Glinda.

00:11Their interpretation of who these characters are was always going to be new and different

00:16and exciting.

00:17Glinda's fashion story is so much fun.

00:20Her interpretation of what that character is and her spirit, her personality, I put

00:25them all in a pot and stirred it up and out came Glinda.

00:29For the first bubble dress, we thought we should go pink.

00:32I wish you could touch these clothes.

00:35There's just all of this pink and fluff.

00:38I nearly had a heart attack.

00:39Everything was so thoughtful.

00:41The dressmaker for Glinda, he went about approaching it from the Fibonacci spiral and creating

00:48shapes using that as a springboard and then evolving that into the dress that we have

00:55now.

00:57For Glinda, it's much more about curves and softness and femininity.

01:02They're kind of rainbow tones.

01:05Thinking about the world of Elphaba, I was looking at a lot of the textures of mushrooms

01:11and fungus in nature and the different kinds of patterns.

01:15Paul created this beautiful pleated dress that felt like velvet with an underlay of

01:22purple and lace.

01:24For her Wicked look, it's made of micro-pleated fabric that's been laid onto a base and it

01:31creates this undulation.

01:34With the hat, it becomes what we end up knowing as the Wicked Witch.

01:40Every single costume in this movie is a piece of art.

01:44This is the reason I'm here, to create new iconic images of who these characters are.

01:51And that, for me, has been the greatest joy.
