Four of Prada's much anticipated designs for the forthcoming Great Gatsby remake have been released. And they're incredible, as expected. It's the third time that the italian designer has joined forces with Baz Luhrman (first in his 1996 adaptation of
Romeo & Juliet
, for which she designed the suit Leonardo DiCaprio's
Romeo wore during the wedding ceremony, and also for the series of short
films that were featured in the Met's 'Schiaparelli and Prada:
Impossible Conversations' exhibition) and I doubt this will be the last.
"Baz and Miuccia have always connected on their shared fascination with
finding modern ways of releasing classic and historical references from
the shackles of the past," explains Catherine Martin, the film's costume
designer, and Luhrmann's wife. "This connection is central to our
relationship with Miuccia Prada on
The Great Gatsby
, and has connected our vision with hers. In the same
way Nick Carraway reflects on a world that he is within and without, we
have tried to create an environment that the audience will be
subconsciously familiar with, yet separated from."(via The Telegraph)
