Vogue sat down with the costume designer of Netflix’s LadyChatterley’s Lover, Emma Fryer, to talk about mining cultural references, both old and new.
Let’s be honest: The romance in period dramas is reliably great, but the fashion is rarely relatable or easily imitated. Shows such astend to favor broad costume dressing, opting for creating pieces solely for the camera over scavenging out in the real world and curating garments. It makes sense for the escapist works. The chief goal is pulling viewers into binge-worthy pastiches of the past. But here’s the major trade-off: Rarely can you imagine yourself in the characters’ shoes. Literally.
As a woman who reads James Joyce, speaks her mind, and prioritizes sexual fulfillment, Lady Chatterley feels like a modern woman. So Fryer decided it made sense to dress her with contemporary sensibilities. Connie dons a variety of bias-cut dresses and skirts in gem-colored velvets, silks, and chenille that could be found on Net-a-Porter and The RealReal. In one scene, the character wears an electric-blue-hued dress boldly accessorized with a hot pink sash.
