Costume designer Jacqueline West talks crafting futuristic fashion for Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, and other stars for the blockbuster sci-fi sequel.
If you followed the global press tour for Dune: Part Two, you know some serious fashion was going down. Zendaya in an archival Thierry Mugler robot suit? Anya Taylor-Joy in a translucent, hooded Dior veil? Timothée Chalamet in sparkly Haider Ackermann trousers, head-to-toe Prada leather, or a Givenchy suit featuring a custom chrome breastplate? The fashion was fashioning, to say the least.
I was totally steeped in medieval art—it’s the future, but it’s starting over. I also relied on ancient paintings, especially paintings of Arabs in Morocco and North Africa. My references for this film were pretty ancient. The Fremen, for instance, are really survivalists in the desert, so I looked to ancient Islam. They didn’t take on the Islamic faith, but we see them dressed as a combination of different religions.
