Angel Heart (1987) is not a movie you easily forget; you’ll know if you’ve seen it because you will never look at Robert De Niro in the same way again, that’s for sure. However, he is not the focus of this latest video – that honour belongs to Mickey Rourke.
Absolutely at his zenith during the mid-late 1980s, in Angel Heart Rourke plays an aimable private investigator, or ‘gumshoe’, called Johnny Angel, suckered into a dastardly and outright evil case by De Niro’s may-or-may-not-but-likely-is literal devil character. It is set in 1955 and costumed by Aude Bronson-Howard, who would also work with director Alan Parker on Mississippi Burning in 1988. Johnny Angel is scruffy and sloppy in his dress but fits his world suitably enough. Yet, most interesting of all is something about his trousers…
Sorry, but you will need to watch the video to discover what that’s about.

Jacqueline Oknaian has costumed Ugly Betty (2008-10), Sex and the City 2 (2010) and The Big C (2012-13), so it might be fair to say contemporary clothing is her forte. For The Intern she dressed Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro in that most tricky of cinematic costume: ‘office attire’. Fashion and practicality collide in what needs to be stylish but relatable clothing inside a believable setting. Here Ms Oknaian chats exclusively about her work on the film.
Anne Hathaway has the perfect office wardrobe, where did you get your inspiration for her smart, but chic looks?
I related to her character personally because I’m a mother and I’ve worked in fashion, I used to be a personal shopper in Barney’s, then I got into styling. I had a lot of friends that worked in the fashion industry for mothers who need to look fashionable, smart chic, modern...

After that surprising snub by the Academy (not even a nomination) and BAFTA, Black Swan costume designer Amy Westcott has finally been rewarded, with a Costume Designers Guild (Cdg) Award for Excellence in Contemporary Film.
This was a tough category, too. Jeffrey Kurland has hardly been mentioned, apart from by the public, regarding his almost entirely bespoke costumes for Inception. Have the Guild responded to the recent, very public controversy between Westcott and Black Swan contributors Kate and Laura Mulleavy, i.e. Rodarte? Perhaps, yes, and we would not begin to suggest this is a bad thing either. Moreover the effectiveness of the Cdg lies in their broad distinction between genres, e.g. period and contemporary, allowing them to reward grand, noticeable costumes and subtler, more narrative lead design.

So, the Costume Designers Guild (Cdg) has served up their nominations for this year. Apart from falling short on numbers in a couple of categories, the line-up is predictably safe.
Excellence in Contemporary Film
Black Swan – Amy Westcott
Burlesque – Michael Kaplan
Inception – Jeffrey Kurland
The Social Network – Jacqueline West
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – Ellen Mirojnick
There has been recent hoopla in the press regarding Rodarte’s overall involvement with the costume design for Black Swan, though the Costume Designers Guild will be unlikely to run scared. Shouldn’t The Social Network strictly be in the Period category, however? Jacqueline West went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the film was historically accurate, something often harder to achieve when the setting is recent.
