Cindy Evans for Atomic Blonde
Stacey Battat for The Beguiled
Jürgen Doering for Personal Shopper
Mark Bridges for Phantom Thread
Sandy Powell for Wonderstruck
AND THE WINNER IS:
MARK BRIDGES FOR PHANTOM THREAD
This is the first win and fourth win for Mark Bridges. He was previously nominated for costuming Boogie Nights (1997), The Master (2012) and Inherent Vice (2014).
A film about a 1950’s couture costume designer, I mean the film was locked to win every costume design mention this year. Having seen the film I completely agree that it is the best. It is a film devoted to a love of costume and features standout pieces worn by both men and women. I just was blown away by Bridges work because each piece had my mouth watering. The choice of having Reynolds wear layers upon layers really spoke to the characters issues with intimacy as he worth these coats on top of shirts on top of so many other individual pieces. It goes without saying that the perfectly fitted dresses worn by Alma and every other model like women in the film are also beautiful to look at. From the colour to the style each costume adds to the characters journey throughout this twisted love story.
