00:02 Holly came in with so many boards and so many ideas

00:10 that were just brilliant.

00:12 I flew to Athens before our rehearsal process

00:14 to do a long early fitting with Holly and Yorgos.

00:17 This was not gonna be a very traditional period film,

00:21 so we could work with layers of garments

00:24 that we would never normally see in films.

00:27 I sort of reserved all really strong yellows

00:29 for her. We spent ages trying to achieve

00:31 this shade of mango yellow that Yorgos liked so much.

00:35 This is the ocean liner costume.

00:37 It's very much about her and Harry being

00:39 in this pale costume. The silhouette of the period

00:41 creates this super svelte female body

00:44 by making the shoulders huge.

00:46 Everybody's costume is gorgeous.

00:52 I could walk down Fifth Avenue with this today.

00:56 Then actually look cool. (CHUCKLES)

00:58 Men were very peacockish in the Victorian age.

01:01 I mean, I probably had like 15 fittings.

01:03 Everything was tailor-made.

01:05 I think Holly really is incredibly brilliant.

01:08 The ideas that she was coming up with

01:10 were very challenging to execute,

01:12 and were all deeply thought through and inspired.
