Jessica Biel Vintage Movie Style!
We decided to show you publicity photos of Jessica Biel in 1920s-1930s outfits from her latest movie, “Easy Virtue” because Jessica Biel wanted to walk away with her movie wardrobe. So, judge for yourself what made costumes from the movie so appealing to Jessica.
Below is the excerpt from “Easy Virtue” Production Notes where costume designer Charlotte Walter and cast talk about movie fashion:
According to award-winning costume designer Charlotte Walter, dressing the
characters in EASY VIRTUE was ‘a gift’. A long-time collector of vintage
clothing, she explains: “I was very fortunate having such a fantastic cast.
Stephan wanted all the costumes in the film to look real and attractive, but not
without humour. Kristin was very gratifying to dress and completely
understands clothes and style. I based her clothes on the two women in my
life who were the most influential, my grandmother and my aunt.
“Colin’s character was ‘shabby chic’, and he too grasped the idea and wore
the clothes with just the right attitude. Jessica was the alien arriving in the
English countryside from America and Europe, and Steph wanted her to
stand out as such. I decided her palette would be black and white, silver,
cream and grey - straight angles and no frills or fuss like the art deco of the
time - a complete contrast to the greens and browns of the English
countryside. She looked so elegant in the clothes and embraced the period
feel by bravely wearing 1930s underwear every day even when it was
freezing, to get the correct feel and shape or her clothes,” adds Charlotte.
Jessica Biel agrees that the clothing is particularly relevant to the era and was
more than delighted with the designs. “My wardrobe on this film has just
been amazing. I literally wanted to walk away with every piece! Because
Larita is such a modern woman, she is almost ahead of her time. Everything
is very streamlined but all of her outfits have a little cheek to them somehow,
so for me, wearing the clothes every day really brought her alive.”
“Katherine was my joker card,” continues Charlotte, “she was a delight. All
her costumes made me laugh, and they all subtly made her a bit oblivious to
her clothes and her mother’s influence. Kimberley Nixon who plays Marion
the little sister was also fun to dress. She wanted to look like Larita and break
out! Her costumes were pretty but practical and probably hand-me-downs,
and then she started to borrow scarves and brooches from Larita.”
