Oscar Mania – Fashion in Film: Hugo

Nick Verreos takes us behind the scenes at FIDM where costumes from the Academy Award nominated Hugo are on display.

Costume designer, Sandy Powell has been nominated for seven Academy Awards in costume design including ‘Shakespeare in Love’ and ‘Young Victoria’. She has worked with Martin Scoresese before on Oscar nominated films ‘The Avaiator’ and ‘Gangs of New York’. Inspired by French filmmaker Georges “The Cinemagician” MeliesHugo is a stunning adaptation of the children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  The costume design is central to bringing to life Paris after World War I.

Everything is seen as if through the eyes of a child, therefore I wanted to simplify the looks to just one, maybe two outfits for each character. I approached the actual costumes as if they were illustrations from a children’s picture book, keeping the looks simple, graphic and colourful.”
