"I have no interest in fashion as fashion."
——Jenny Beavan
At the just-concluded 94th Academy Awards, "Black and White Witch Kuira" won the best costume design without suspense.
Black and white yin and yang heads, garbage truck dresses, burning red dresses, from the evil villain obsessed with spotted dogs, to the charming fashion witch, Kuyla, played by Academy Award queen Emma Stone, set off a retro fashion wave last summer.
And all this is thanks to a three-time Oscar costume design winner , Jenny Beavan.

Reinvent fashion films in punk-inspired packaging
In the 1970s, punk rock-and-roll London was chaotic and full of life, and Estella, a young slum girl, was eager to show her talents and create art here.
With her outstanding design talents and the help of her friends, she entered the highest halls of fashion and became a designer and assistant under the Baroness of the Queen of Fashion.
When the talent is finally appreciated, Estella accidentally discovers the truth of her origins and the crimes committed by the Baroness. So she transformed into the talented alternative costume designer Kuila and began her path to revenge.
Jenny Beavan, a 71-year-old veteran British costume designer, is a legend in the film industry, who has been nominated for 11 Academy Awards, 8 BAFTA Awards, and has won two small gold medals for "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Room with a View".

This time, in "Black and White Witch Kuira", Jenny Beavan designed nearly 80 gorgeous costumes for the two heroines: 47 sets of Kuira Emma Stone, and 33 sets of Baroness Emma Thompson.
It's no easy to combine cinematic costumes and fashion perfectly, and in this film, the presentation of Estella's transformation into Kuira is largely inseparable from costumes.
Louis Vuitton's Capucines handbag is paired with an elegant printed maxi skirt, and with her sensitivity to fashion, the early Kuira can easily pretend to be a noble lady who comes and goes to high-end places at will.
Then he took advantage of the drunken strength of the unpleasant window design to make a drastic transformation.
After the blackening, Kuila is more brash, and many classic styles have left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience. For example, this gold silk dress made of gold-plated insect pupae, thousands of moths broke out, successfully destroying the baroness's design before the launch of the new series of baronesses.
There's also this "newspaper garbage skirt," which debuted at an exclusive event sponsored by the Baroness and attended only by the media and elite, where Kuila sits in a garbage truck and pours out a 12-meter-long skirt from the garbage truck. Ironically, the garbage was a dress that the Baroness had once made.
Or this red "tree dress" that made a stunning appearance at the baroness's dress code black and white ball. In full view of everyone, the big show of flames tricked, and the white cloak turned into ashes.
The red dress that Kuila wore inside was the work of the Baroness, which was outdated in the storyline at that time, and after Kuira's transformation, it became extraordinary and provocative.
You think this is the end? At the baroness's second dinner, Kuila not only locked the baroness in the car, but also stood on the roof of the car, covered the baroness in the car with the hem of the skirt, and pulled down the "PAST" banner to declare the sovereignty of fashion to the world.
The bodice is paired with an antique Napoleonic military uniform from the British punk brand Body Map. The lower body is a petal skirt with a skirt of 12 meters long, composed of 5060 petals, and it is all hand-sewn by a person with a needle and a thread.
After the release of "Black and White Witch Kuila", it caused a lot of repercussions. Song Qian has cosplayed Kuila's classic style, half black and half white hair style and dark black clothing perfect restoration.
"The costumes are so great because they serve the story, not to take center stage."
