Costume designer PC Williams shares how she memorialized the singer's signature wardrobe for the screen.
The dialogue between a biopic and the real-life narrative can be a difficult one—especially with a story as widely known as Amy Winehouse’s. With the British soul-pop singer’s beehive hairdos, cat-eye mascara, and 2000s fashion, it would be so easy for the costumes to veer too closely into the realm of camp; on the other hand, take too many creative liberties, and you risk alienating an audience that remembers the ill-fated chanteuse as if she’d just left us yesterday.
Then for the Grammys scene, we had reached out to Dolce Gabbana, who had dressed Amy for that occasion. They no longer had the original in their archive, but they offered to remake it for us, and we were so lucky to have an exact copy. And in the Glastonbury sequence, Christian Louboutin made the exact shoes for Marisa that Amy wore that day. So we had both things from her wardrobe, and exact replicas that brands were able to make for us.Otherwise, the majority of Marisa’s costuming was vintage.
