Diane Kruger and Jason Wu on their custom look for the Cannes Film Festival, where Kruger will premiere 'The Shrouds' by David Cronenberg.
Sure, the German actress is one of his fashion icons, but their relationship has grown to be something much more, the designer says.
“It’s a movie about grief and death and how you deal with that in a relationship, and I didn’t know that it was kind of based on his own story,” Kruger says. “So when you see the film, which is very Cronenberg-en, of course, it does feel like it has a whole other dimension because it’s his story in a way. And I get to play three different characters in the film.
Wu and Kruger have developed a shorthand for finding the right message to convey with a look. With the gown for “Into the Fade,” a movie in which she plays a mother who loses her son in a terrorist attack, “it didn’t feel right to me at all to do one of those big gowns like you see in Cannes so often with the glitter and the bright colors,” Kruger says. “I wanted to make it special and beautiful, but it needed to fit the mood of the film. And immediately got that.
“Jason was my first phone call,” Kruger says. “I’d been to the show, and it was very wintry, but there was this beautiful bluish dress that he made, and I loved that fabric. And I called him and I said, ‘Listen, would you be interested in making the photocall look?’” Kruger says. The runway original was more of a straight shape than Kruger likes on her body. “Even the first time we went to the Met , on the runway, that top was like a loose sort of T-shirt fit,” Kruger recalls.
