\u201cSince making her debut as a costume designer on Stanley Kubrick\u2019s A Clockwork Orange <\/em>(1971), Milena Canonero has produced some of the most visionary costumes in film history and has shaped our collective imagination through the clothes we see on screen, using colorful fabrics and innovative cuts to draw out the essential natures of some of the most recognizable cinematic creations,\u201d Locarno organizers said. \u201cTake the Jazz Age tuxedos and gowns of Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s\u202fThe Cotton Club\u202f<\/em>(1984), the pre-revolutionary aristocratic ruffles in Sofia Coppola\u2019s\u202fMarie Antoinette\u202f<\/em>(2006), Tilda Swinton\u2019s elaborate, Klimt-like costumes in Wes Anderson\u2019s\u202fThe Grand Budapest Hotel\u202f<\/em>(2014), or the stylish dark looks of Catherine Deneuve and Davie Bowie in Tony Scott\u2019s horror film The Hunger<\/em>\u202f(1983). Or take Warren Beatty\u2019s magnificently colorful Dick Tracy<\/em>\u202f(1990), the memorable outfits of Sidney Pollack\u2019s Out of Africa <\/em>(1986), the western get-ups of Jacques Audiard\u2019s\u202fThe Sisters Brothers\u202f<\/em>(2018), the iconic costumes of Kubrick\u2019s The Shining <\/em>(1980)\u2026 Or indeed, most recently, her interpretation of a postmodern Roman style in Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s\u202fMegalopolis<\/em>\u202f(2024) and her sixth collaboration with Wes Anderson on the \u201850s-set spy film The Phoenician Scheme<\/em>\u202f(2025).\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
