I worked in fashion, but I worked more in the sales side of fashion than in design. I was an assistant buyer for a department store back in the '70s and the early years of Saint Laurent. And I used to have a lot of private clients that I bought for. Colleen Atwood 70sassistantback share on social

People like to stir up the fashion vs. costume world, and I think what they mean by 'too costumey' is that it's too much, or not real enough for everyday wear.

Planet of the Apes was a gigantic challenge, making the clothes work so people could do stunts and action in the clothes. I really learned a lot about that in that movie. Colleen Atwood actionapechallenge Change image and share on social
I grew up in the age of polyester. When I got to touch real silk, cotton and velvet, the feel of nonsynthetic fabrics blew me away. I know it's important how clothing looks, but it's equally important how it feels on your skin. Colleen Atwood ageblowclthe share on social
I wanted to be a painter when I was a kid. And then, I had to make a living. I had a child when I was in high school, so I kind of had that work phase in my life. Colleen Atwood childhighkid Change image and share on social
Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me. Colleen Atwood artbookinspiration Change image and share on social
It actually is as fun to make men's costumes, especially if they are as good-looking as Chris Hemsworth. Colleen Atwood chriscostumefun Change image and share on social
