The Baz Luhrmann-directed Elvis continues to feature a wardrobe by Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin. These two women have made a splash and won countless awards with The Great Gatsby.
Will elvis movie fashion resonate like the great gatsby?
When it premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Baz Luhrmann-directed Elvis received a 12-minute standing ovation. Actor who plays music legend Elvis Presley, actor Austin Butler, was immediately appointed as a Cartier brand ambassador . Fashion from the movie Elvis by Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin – the two designers who made the Moulin Rouge wardrobe! and The Great Gatsby – continue to take over. And the costumes were provided by Prada and Miu Miu.
Is the above information enough to convince you to go to the cinema to watch Elvis? The movie is not just about recreating the life of Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley (1935 – 1977) was an American music legend. Called “the king of Rock n’Roll”, Elvis Presley caused a lot of controversy when he performed in public for the first time. It was Elvis Presley who paved the way to bring the fiery, somewhat erotic, style of performance to the masses in the West.
The film Elvis (2022) directed by Baz Luhrmann will describe the relationship between Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) and important people in his life, such as the boss Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks) and his wife Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).
However, it was Baz Lurhmann who insisted that he did not make a movie about Elvis Presley! In an interview with Sotheby’s , the director said:
“I just finished a movie called Elvis that didn’t actually say anything about Elvis himself. The story is about America in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. Elvis was the central figure of popular culture for all three of those decades—representing the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
As a film with a focus on history and culture, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis must bring viewers back to those decades while watching the film. But fashion is an extremely important factor to convey this spirit.
Fashion in the movie Elvis by Miuccia Prada and Catherine Martin
Remember, when Baz Luhrmann made the movie The Great Gatsby (2013), he made the global fashion world go crazy with the Flapper style of the 1920s for a long time afterward. The director did this when he teamed up with Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada (creative director Miu Miu and Prada).
Now, this trio reunites for the movie Elvis . And they continue to “rewrite the old time”, promising to storm the fashion world in a similar way.
The film The Great Gatsby was once considered by historians as not 100% like 1920s flapper fashion, but reinventing it to suit the tastes of contemporary audiences. When designing the Elvis movie fashion , Miuccia Prada said this is also her direction.
“It was important for Baz and I to not only reinvent the historical clothing, but find a modern way to explain why their clothing was so historic.”
The creative process required the crew to study the style of the Presleys. At the same time, they also rummaged through Prada and Miu Miu’s archives. From there, find the similarities, arouse inspiration to turn the iconic Presley couple’s outfits into the wardrobe that appears in the movie.
Miuccia Prada reveals some outfits from Prada and Miu Miu in Elvis Some of the designs are inspired by the 20th century, when Elvis was at the height of his fame. However, Miuccia Prada said, she focused most of her investment on the character of his wife Priscilla Presley. The designs are inspired by Mrs. Presley’s personality and fashion.
Costumes not only express the aesthetic of the era. It also plays a role in reflecting the personality of the characters. The combination of two brands that always care about the past and look to the future like Prada and Miu Miu makes everything more perfect.
