Ashleigh Chavis reveals she used album covers to get inspiration for the looks in The Bikeriders.
The Bikeriders is now playing in theaters, and the film was helmed by Take Shelter and Midnight Special director, Jeff Nichols . The film is based on a photography book by Danny Lyon about a motorcycle club in the 1960s and stars some big names such as Tom Hardy , Austin Butler , and Jodie Comer . ComicBook recently had the chance to chat with the film's Makeup Department Head, Ashleigh Chavis , who spoke about working with the cast and how some of the looks came together.
"I think one of the most important things I learned looking back and doing research on any decade for a project before 2000, there weren't as many publications or opportunities to really see different styles that are being offered to the world, Chavis explained."There were definite set styles for every decade. There were fashion styles that were kind of across the board. There were makeup and hairstyles that were across the board for different communities all over the world.
"There weren't a ton of different styles for the '60s," she added." I mean, definitely from the early '60s to the later '60s, they had that hippie revolution that really started to come into effect later on. But even with that, there was such a stark line between who were the preps, who were the outsiders, who were the hippies."
"They had their classic styles. And I think nowadays, because anything goes nowadays, stuff looks like it's from the past. Some stuff looks like it's current day, you don't really know. But for the '30s, the '40s, the '50s, the '60s, '70s, all of those, they're very defined by the makeup, hair and wardrobe and the shoes that they wore and everything.
"It's not like they had social media to look at all these different people and what they were wearing. You kind of just had whatever was in the magazines at the time. And another really favorite place of me to do research was looking at old record covers and albums," she added."Because those were the people that were really setting the tone for what was in and everything. They didn't have Instagram influencers or anything like that.
