Colleen Atwood is an American costume designer... (wikipedia)
Costume, hair and makeup can tell you instantly, or at least give you a larger perception of who a character is. It's the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth, so it really does establish who they are.
I always have a moment when I know I'm designing the last costume that gets made for a movie, and it's always been floating up there, but it's kind of the last one. That's always probably the hardest one for me.
One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it's very glamorous work.
I choose colors I like and will photograph well. I don't do color theory!
I am always looking for ideas, whether it is in art on the street or in my world travels. It comes to me randomly and unexpectedly.
