It's great fun that my grandkids get to see the costumes in 'Alice in Wonderland' or a doll with grandma's dress, but then they also let me know they're bummed I didn't do any of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies. Colleen Atwood alicebumcaribbean share on social
As for futuristic costumes, I loved doing 'Gattaca' because I'm a minimalist at heart, and it's a very minimal film. Plus, with Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke and Jude Law, how could you go wrong? Colleen Atwood costumeethanfilm Change image and share on social
I think that sometimes people don't understand that a costume that has to be worn every day and doesn't change the whole movie becomes iconic. It's very important because it requires a different design process, since you have to make something that people aren't going to get tired of looking at.

I have watched 'Project Runway,' but I'm not a devout watcher of it. But I think it's a great show, what I've seen of it, and I think Tim Gunn is a very positive, amazing guy. Colleen Atwood amazedevoutgreat Change image and share on social
I'd say probably the most expensive costumes I've ever made were the costumes in 'The Planet of the Apes,' because of the research and development that went into them and the amount of layers. Colleen Atwood amountapecostume Change image and share on social
For contemporary fashion, I'm a huge fan of so many of the people out there. I think Azzedine Alaia holds up through three generations of very specific, beautiful design. I think Jean Paul Gaultier also is very interesting with a long span. Colleen Atwood alaiaazzedinebeautiful share on social
In real life, a lot of people at that level will have their kimonos made especially for them. Colleen Atwood kimonolevellife Change image and share on social
Each simian had a much different body suit, so besides trying to define class across species, there was a definite attempt to dress each group in different styles. Colleen Atwood attemptbodyclass Change image and share on social
