Costume designer Mara Zigler expresses her love for lived-in fashion through film
Mara Zigler is pictured at Expo Vintage Outlet in Toronto wearing a mix of pieces from the stores Expo Vintage, Good Habits, Divine Decadence and Soop Soop.Mara Zigler first fell in love with clothing working for Toronto vintage stores as a picker, snatching second-hand treasures off a fast-moving conveyor belt where, she says, “everything is old, everything is stinky, everything has lived a life.” On the line, you’ve got to act fast, because once the clothes are gone, they’re.
Zigler is drawn to projects with shoestring budgets and outsized acclaim. She designed the costumes for two films that premiered at this month’s Toronto International Film Festival: Kazik Radwanski’s, Luis De Filippis’s tender debut about a young trans woman on vacation with her family, on top of four career nominations for Canadian Screen Awards.In Measures for a Funeral, Mara Zigler dressed actor Deragh Campbell in pieces that evoke a sense of softness.
Only the fashion designer gets the credit, however – and reaps its benefits. Jonathan Anderson, who designs for Loewe and JW Anderson, recently served as the costume designer on the romantic sports drama, outfitting the three main characters mostly in brands he works on. Anderson marketed his costume work in ways other film designers can’t. “He can create a runway within a film, and then put those items on the biggest stars in the world,” Zigler says.
Zigler is content to hone her artistry behind the scenes. For her, good costume design requires “this perfect tension between something that’s invisible and something that’s extremely expressive at the same time,” she says.Switch gears.
