Of all the Oscar nominees for costume design, Autumn de Wilde’s “Emma” served as the most colorful fashion statement. Indeed, the incisive Jane Austen adaptation, starring Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Queen’s Gambit”) as the titular heroine, wields color as a blunt instrument of female empowerment. “It was such an organic, creative process, with a lot of serendipity,” said Alexandra Byrne (Oscar winner for “Elizabeth: The Golden Age”).
De Wilde brought out the best in Byrne by taking her out of her comfort zone and letting her play with an infusion of color like a box of macarons. “Emma” takes place at the dawn of the 19th century, when England underwent a radical shift in female fashion during the Regency period. Byrne took a deep dive into the liberating period, visiting museums to get a better understanding of the garments up close, before reproducing the right fabrics and figuring out the best color combinations.
