How to nail Christmas movie fashion, according to an acclaimed costume designer
First, a fun fact: Gregusova worked closely with Hudgens when it came to designing her wardrobe for the movie.
“I talked to Vanessa over the phone about the character as soon as I got her number,” she says, understandably , “and we discussed what she imagined Brooke would be wearing.” She continues: “There is a difference when you are designing a contemporary film versus a period or fantasy film where we are building the costumes from scratch. For contemporary films I collaborate with the cast more because they know what works on them and we have to shop. We always over buy and then during the fittings we start eliminating by going through all the pieces on the costume rack and choosing the ones we want to try on and together we find the pieces which fit and resonate.
“I wanted to tie Sir Cole’s 14th century period wardrobe with Brooke’s contemporary looks,” she tells me. “I was looking for interesting pieces for her which had beautiful details evocative of chainmail in a modern form. I wanted both of them to have something in common in a subtle way despite their different worlds. To me, that’s romantic.”
All of this is brilliant and all, but I’m desperate for Christmas dressing tips I can use myself. And so dive into it, headfirst: what are Gregusova’s top festive fashion tips?My conversation with Gregusova is certainly eye-opening. While my festive style inspiration is firmly rooted in the big blockbuster rom-coms of Christmases past and present, Gregusova prefers to go back to the lesser-known Slovakian films she fell in love with as a child.
