Wow, I LOOOOOOVED the White Witch's costumes! I remember thinking them a bit odd when I first saw them in trailers but after getting a bit used to the idea, I love them! I also read interviews with Tilda Swinton and the costume designer which were very interesting.
Remember, Jadis is NOT human. I think encasing her in rigid clothing that exaggerated the form was a good way to indicate this. I must praise Tilda Swinton to the heavens for making this costume work on her! She moved about as if it were nothing, as if it really was what she wore every day! Good on her. I'd be so happy with her if I were the designer. Also, her hair was very cool - like roots in the earth. In fact, I think I remember Ms. Swinton saying something about how it was supposed to look earthy. Loved the melting icicle crown. Loved it! Liked the kids clothes. Agree that it is not what I would have chosen for coronation clothing, but then again, remember that they are CHILDREN so long trains wouldn't make sense for them. Also remember that the movie is made for children and is supposed to be fantasy, so perhaps what would have been more drool-worthy to our eyes wouldn't have been as pretty to little kids. I wanted a better view of the grown-up kids' clothing! Guess I'll just have to go see it again. SHUCKS! ;) --Rachel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
