After New York... Shanghai!

 

I costumi disegnati da Miuccia Prada e Catherine Martin

per il film di Baz Luhrmann ‘Il Grande Gatsby’

ora in mostra a Shanghai

Dopo New York e Tokyo, la mostra itinerante di costumi disegnati da Miuccia Prada e dalla costumista Catherine Martin per la versione cinematografica de Il Grande Gatsby di Baz Luhrmann, è ora in esposizione a Shanghai presso il negozio Prada IFC. Ieri, 10 settembre, si è tenuto il cocktail di inaugurazione presso i negozi Prada e Miu Miu di IFC.

Catherine Martin, costumista e scenografa vincitrice di premi Oscar® e Tony®, è famosa in tutto il mondo per la collaborazione con il marito Baz Luhrmann ai film Ballroom - Gara di Ballo, Romeo + Giulietta, Moulin Rouge e alla scenografia de La Bohéme per Broadway.

L’esposizione, dal titolo Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby, combina abiti da sera, vestiti, cappelli, calzature e gioielli a schizzi, foto di scena, filmati del backstage e trailer del film. 

Catherine Martin ha suggerito linee guida molto precise; i riferimenti e i dettagli di tessuti, colori e materiali dovevano essere quelli dell’epoca, ma allo stesso tempo moderni. Lavorando ai costumi, Miuccia Prada si è resa conto di quanti capi creati per le sfilate Prada e Miu Miu di diverse stagioni avessero uno spirito tipicamente anni ‘20 una volta integrati nella regia del film. Gli abiti, storici e assolutamente contemporanei al tempo stesso, sono realizzati in brillante lamé metallico iridescente, paillettes, taffetà di seta, pelliccia colorata e velluto, e abbinati a fantastici cappelli, calzature e accessori.

L’allestimento, a cura dello studio 2x4 di New York, è composto da una serie di manichini semi trasparenti in vetroresina, illuminati da basi d’appoggio dove sono presenti anche le fotografie e una breve biografia del personaggio che ha indossato quel costume. La biografia mette in evidenza la ricchezza di dettagli con cui Catherine Martin immagina i personaggi di contorno in ogni scena. I manichini sono contestualizzati da un murale a collage che rappresenta la scena della festa in cui appaiono molti dei vestiti Prada e Miu Miu, e da grandi video dove scorrono le scene del film.

Costumes designed by Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin

for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film ‘The Great Gatsby’

on display in Shanghai

 

The travelling exhibition of selected costumes designed by Miuccia Prada and costume designer Catherine Martin for Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of The Great Gatsby is now on display at the Prada IFC store in Shanghai, China. The opening cocktail was held at the Prada and Miu Miu IFC stores on September 10 2013.

An Academy Award® and Tony® winning costume designer and art director, Catherine Martin is world-renowned for her collaborations with husband Baz Luhrmann on the films Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and the Broadway stage design for La Bohéme.

The exhibition - titled Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada Dress Gatsby and curated by New York studio 2x4 - includes women’s gowns, dresses, hats, shoes and jewelry as well as sketches, production stills, backstage footage and film trailers.

Very strict guidelines came from Catherine Martin in terms of references and details on fabrics, colors, materials that had to be period accurate, but modern at the same time. While working on the costumes, Miuccia Prada realized how many pieces created for the Prada and Miu Miu runways in different seasons had a very ‘20s mood once integrated in the movie’s direction. At once historical and utterly contemporary, the dresses are realized in brilliant iridescent metallic lamé, sequins, silk taffeta, dyed fur, velvet and styled with fantastical hats, shoes and accessories.

The display is comprised of translucent Fiberglas mannequins lit from free-standing bases that include photographs and a brief biography of the character that wore the costume. The biographies reveal the rich and detailed way in which Catherine Martin imagines even minor characters in each scene. The mannequins are contextualized by a collage mural depicting the riotous party scene where many of the Prada and Miu Miu dresses make their appearance, and large-scale video displays that present scenes from the film.
