Costume Designer
Colleen Atwood
Atwood has created the costumes for over fifty films, the most recent of which was for Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie’s collaboration in The Tourist. While her concept for that may have been relatively tame, much of her work is not only hugely elaborate, but has been so well-received that it has caused her name to be etched onto two BAFTAs and two Academy Awards; for Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha and Sleepy Hollow. Some of the other projects she has designed for in the past include Edward Scissorhands, Silence of the Lambs, Little Women, Big Fish, Mission
Impossible III and Sweeney Todd. She made the giant monkey suits for Planet of the Apes, and the Vivienne Westwood-esque dresses for Alice In Wonderland. She even designed the band uniforms for My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade. It is due to fabric architects like Atwood that our eyes are drawn to movie posters, and we strive to dress like our on-screen icons.
