Gatsby gets greater

Miucci Prada has revealed four costume sketches for the film adaptation of The Great Gatsby which we are all eagerly awaiting this summer. As mentioned in a previous post Prada is woking in collaboration with costume designer Catherine Martin to create over 40 looks for the movie which will deliver the 1920's glamour and elegance. The designs include crystal embellishment, sequins and fringing in luxurious hues of topaz, gold and jade emphasising the importance of texture and ornament in that era.

"The fashions of the time saw the development of a dichotomy between those who aspired to the privileged, Ivy League look of wealthy Long Island and those who were aspiring to European glamour, sophistication and decadence. Our collaborations with Prada reflect the collision of these two aesthetics." - Catherine Martin
