The Disney+ sequel showcases the delicate balance of creating something new within the bounds of what has come before.
'Swarm' Costume Designer Details Vision Behind Beyoncé-Inspired Character's Look: "The More Surreal, the Better"
Drawing inspiration from the pilgrims seen in the original film, Pérez began creating by demolition. “That era of fabric was very textural. So I bought beautiful fabric and then destroyed it,” he says. “The wool was a beautiful cashmere blend until I put it in the washer and dried it with some tennis shoes to make it nubby.”
Pérez then added a faint dye to the white of each of the costumes for added visual cues. Instead of using gray for cool or brown for warm , Pérez dyed Young Winnie’s costume pale green, Mary’s pale burgundy, and Sarah’s lavender. The effect is a dirty white on camera but offers a subtle nod to each character.
To top off Winnie’s and Mary’s looks, Pérez added handmade bonnets that preserved the Sanderson sisters’ trademark hairstyles. “I couldn’t change their hair,” Pérez notes. “Director Anne [Fletcher]’s point was that, on top of their silhouettes being iconic, their hair was the most identifiable thing on each of them.”
