,” but the wardrobe for the Ridley Scott film also encompassed pieces from Yves Saint Laurent and several noted menswear tailors.
The rest of the looks were put together from scratch or pulled from costume houses. Patrizia Reggiani preferred French designer Saint Laurent over the deluxe label that she had married into. Yates made that her starting point and took creative license with the rest of the designs, which span three decades — the 1970s to the 1990s. “We created looks that Saint Laurent had done in the ’70s.
The seductive and daringly lowcut red dress worn early in the film by “LG,” as Yates fondly calls the film’s leading lady, was changed on the spot. When Gaga showed up on set, Scott wanted more leg. “We had her up on an apple box, and we cut 18 inches off the bottom of that dress,” Yates recalls.Courtesy of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc.
Reggiani does wear archival Gucci a few times in the film. And one documented time Reggiani was sporting Gucci was on her wedding day. Yates describes Reggiani’s real-life wedding dress as a simple “Catholic girl wanting to please Daddy” look. But the movie version ended up being a handmade creation with a high-low hemline and classic A-line silhouette. It was more elaborate and took more than eight weeks to hand-sew out of lace.
