Suits for Marilyn
It is pointless to argue that “clothing does not paint a person, but a person’s clothes” because this expression is 100% true. But what about costumes for films that are sewn by one or another, regardless of the desire of the actor or actress?
Firstly, the costume is very important for creating an artistic image in the film and therefore the future protagonist cannot be capricious and independently invent a costume (he can only express his wishes), secondly, not an actor or actress, but a costume designer draws sketches and it is he who sets the right direction and the right character of the main character, so the creative unit can only feel the image and transmit it on the screen. Legendary Hollywood workshops - this is a parable in tongue, because it was the costumers of those years who made the most delightful costumes that you can imagine!
To prove this, you do not need to go far, you just need to look at the costumes of the main Hollywood diva of the XX century, Marilyn Monroe, who is still not forgotten. Her costumes fully reflected her character in the films, so they were radically different. Whether innocent or sexual... But one thing remained unchanged - Marilyn was able to adequately represent each of them and, largely thanks to the costumes, she fully got used to the role. After all, clothing is an important attribute for a person, especially an actor, who needs to reincarnate into a completely different personality.
