MARIE ANTOINETTE 2006
“The idea was to capture in the design the way in which I imagined the essence of Marie Antoinette’s spirit,” Coppola explains. “So the film’s candy colors, its atmosphere and the teenaged music all reflect and are meant to evoke how I saw that world from Marie Antoinette’s perspective. She was in a total silk and cake world. It was a complete bubble right up until the very end.” Kirsten Dunst about her daily transformation into the 18th Century fashion goddess Marie Antoinette: “The daily process was pretty brutal,” Dunst admits. “There was a constant flow of dry shampoo and hair spray and they were always piling more and more stuff on me. I often needed a break after the hair and makeup sessions because it was so stressful." Milena Canonero, designer >>>
