the fashion:

delysia lafosse (amy adams) takes the cake as the most visually fascinating asset of the film.

madame duberry (shirley henderson) looks very coco chanel here, non?

loved miss pettigrew's tuxedo back dress.

her around-the-house looks + underpinnings were amazing!

the set:

very lavish, art deco.

just ignore the half naked boy and look at that background!

fun fact: the original teen witch was played by robyn lively.

 "...she said "I had this idea to do something about personal clothing, memory, and identity, so I started writing to people I admire and asking them to send me something of theirs to transform." Her first letter went to Alber Elbaz, who, with instant generosity, sent a pair of his pajamas, and once he'd agreed, it snowballed. She ended up with Tilda Swinton's Vivienne Westwood tee, Jean Paul Gaultier's Breton shirt, Pete Doherty's frogged drummer-boy jacket, a veil from Diane Pernet, a Chanel jacket from Daphne Guinness, and a spencer belonging to Charlotte Rampling."
