How The ‘Saltburn’ Dress Fashion designer Dressed Jacob Elordi in 2000s Prep – WWD

The place else would one to seek out inspiration for 2007 college-core type, alternative than Fb albums? 

When Sophie Canale learn the script for Emerald Fennell’s untouched movie “Saltburn,” which is ready in 2007 England, she was once right away — and knew precisely the place to start out pulling inspiration.

“It was the first script I read after my first design job with ‘Bridgerton,’ and I just fell in love,” Canale says over Zoom from the poised of her untouched manufacturing. “At the beginning it was mood boards mainly of my friends drunk on Facebook as inspiration. I did apologize at my interview for how many drunk people [there were], but it was a great inspiration, my friends. And 2007 for Facebook was just such a highlighted year of everyone becoming friends, and with people that I hadn’t spoken to in such a long time, and it was a great resource for me for fashion. It was funny. People that I worked with in costume over the years, and then I delved back through there. I didn’t know them in 2007, but it was quite exciting to see another side of them at university.”

The movie stars Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi as Oxford scholars who later exit to spend past at Elordi’s people house, known as Saltburn, within the nation-state. The college scenes are full of popped-collar polos and Livestrong bracelets, pace at Saltburn the people “dresses for dinner,” in robes and fits. 

The past length was once a selected problem for Canale, who stated it’s each too contemporary and no longer some distance again but. 

“When people think about period costumes, they think of further back in history and we’re always making history, and I think that’s really important about clothing. We all have our tribes, we all have what we love to wear, and we always kind of tend to surround ourselves. 2007 was really interesting, or the 2000s in general, was interesting to me,” Canale says. “The ’90s have come back tenfold in Britain, especially on the high street. The current teenagers know the ’90s, but 2007 is kind of not far enough back to be in costume houses, to be able to resource period costumes per se. But it’s not in the charity shops or the thrift stores. And so it really was digging through various websites, buying from people’s wardrobes. It’s not necessarily period costume, but I feel like it’s another genre to go back and step back into. And also within my lifetime of going, ‘really, did we really do that?’”

She sourced items from Kate Moss’s first assortment for Topshop, which had simply pop out round that past, for the younger girls to put on in scenes at Oxford, in addition to items from Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister and Jack Wills. For the dressier moments at Saltburn, Canale went during the runway collections from the past and pulled appears to be like from Christopher Kane, Valentino, Chanel, Dior and Chloé. 

The general result’s one wild sensory experience from begin to end.

“There was so much joy in all of it. You can see how much fun we had,” Canale says. “There’s a nostalgic element to it in a sense, but also, I really enjoy the setting of a period being in Oxford, being in a university of that status. Being in the house as well, and then seeing contemporary clothing against the period backdrop was a really interesting concept.”
