00:00I haven't been with Jantjie since Gladiator 1.
00:06Her talent is so formidable.
00:09Ridley's vision is extraordinary.
00:12With Ridley, we always have costume villages of epic proportions.
00:17Having a crowd of extras is a challenge because you have a huge quantity of garments.
00:24Just dress each person as they come.
00:26It just takes time.
00:28I've never seen a movie with more ravishingly ornate costumes.
00:32Jantjie was really inspired by the evolving fashions at the time.
00:38Attention to detail is everything.
00:40From the research down to the making, and then Shane Ridley, it's a huge collaboration.
00:48I have the most wonderful crew, cutters, leather workers, metal workers, jewelers, embroiderers.
00:57Everything's made from scratch.
00:59There's a whole wide mirage of amazing looks.
01:05Jantjie is absolutely extraordinary.
01:07Her work is unbelievably iconic.
01:10David Crossman made 150 Gladiators.
01:14Everyone is different.
01:15Absolutely brilliant.
01:18She's one of the great ones.
01:19I mean, look at me.
01:20The wardrobe, her beautiful costumes, and the colors.
01:25I don't have to think or worry about anything.
01:28It is an art, choosing Gladiators.
01:30I just put the clothes on and do my part.
