Everything is exciting ,the whole cast was great and I love designing menswear.
When it came to Winnie, she was a challenge as a character. She was brought up in a wealthy enviorment,she had everything money could buy.
Presently, she disowns it all. She was almost anti money, anti fashion. She had taste and opinions ,but fashion was never important.
She was more interested in uncovering the truth and reporting it than being on the cover of Vogue.
For her character,we made choices that were stylish ,classical and had a modern twist The combinations were designed to create a cool urban casualness.
We chose a vintage Oscar De La Renta , for the Bull and Bears Met Ball. It was glorious on Carey. It was the only choice she would make in that setting, because it would have been her mother’s.
- You have worked on a whole host of movies of the years so what do you look for in a project?
A great story, great characters, and a director who has a vision.
- How did you get into the world of costume design in the first place, is it something that has always interested you?
I was a fashion designer first . My husband was in the film business and I was looking for something new to do.
He was working on a film in New Orleans. I went to visit, the film didn’t have a costume designer,I took on the challenge ,the rest Is history.
- You have worked on so many movies is there any one that’s your favourite or any particular costume that you are really proud of?
I am proud of everything I’ve created in every film. However, I would have to say my favorite accomplishment was creating Gordon Gekko, and the White Dress that Sharon Stone wore in Basic Instinct. The stars aligned with those creations and both became iconic.
- Finally what’s next for you?
More films, and launching a limited edition men’s made to measure shirt collection, ‘Leading Man by Mirojnick and Kurland Built by Anto”.
