Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Fashion: What Anastasia Wore
 |
| Just six days before he was set to attend the Oscars as a nominee for his work on he 70s drama Inherent Vice, costume designer Mark Bridges pushed his visions of golden statues aside and instead focused on that other project making quite a name for him these days, Fifty Shades of Grey. |
“Since it’s open, and it’s had this huge weekend, you’re actually getting me talking about things that I haven’t talked to other people about because it’s just more interesting,” he told me over the phone. “People haven’t been asking me these questions!”
Well, this interviewer is certainly flattered by his sentiments. And you guys will also be happy to know his candor extended into every single one of his backstories about the costumes in the film.
Check out my full interview with Mark below then keep scrolling to find out how you can emulate Anastasia Steele’s (Dakota Johnson) style.
ON SCREEN STYLE: What attracted you to Fifty Shades?
MARK BRIDGES: First, the director, [Sam Taylor-Johnson]. I like what she has to say, I like her work as a fine artist and photographer. Secondly, I do a lot of period work, and I wanted to try my hand at telling a story with contemporary clothes. It was a cool challenge because when it’s modern, you want it to seem real, but it has to be the best possible real.

| A lot of thought went into what Anastasia would wear when she first meets Christian. “It’s kind of awkward,” Mark said. |
