Costume designer Miyako Bellizzi takes us through all the circa 2012 looks.
Sure, Uncut Gems is a non-stop, adrenaline rush of a movie that you can't shake off even hours after you leave the theater. But it's also a hyper-stylized editorial snapshot of New York fashion in 2012 — best illustrated, obviously, in an intense pressure-packed and action-filled nightclub scene.
"1 Oak is a staple New York City-type place, especially in that era," says Uncut Gems costume designer, Miyako Bellizzi, who previously collaborated with the Safdie Brothers on Good Time."It was really [authentic to] where they both would be going." As for her outfit,"Julia is the typical uptown girl who goes downtown to party," explains Bellizzi."She's a very specific New York City girl, who works in the Diamond District, so she wouldn't really be particularly fashionable or style-heavy. She's a little behind the times, too, just like Howard."
"It was a weird full-circle moment, as well, because I hadn't seen him since then," says Bellizzi. Brainstorming during a few prep meetings, Tesfaye gave her access to his early 2010s wardrobe, which he still had on-hand."But then, at the end of the day, we ended up going with the white-and-black camo because it popped so brightly," recalls Bellizzi."He usually did the green or the brown camo a lot.
Rounding out the club scene for any era, really: Howard."For me, working and going to 1 Oak and Avenue around the corner, at that time period, there's always that guy," says Bellizzi."The midtown, uptown guy, middle-aged guy who's trying to be young and cool. You always see them at that club.
