Costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone studied the descriptive words of the 773-page book:
Costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone also discusses Finn Wolfhard's "punk" dad-blazer-and-graphic-T aesthetic.Like the titular stolen painting in the ambitious big screen adaptation of Donna Tartt's 2013 novel, the lush costumes in "The Goldfinch" also underscore hidden, poignant messages and context.
"[She's] this eclectic New Yorker with probably not too much money, but with exquisite taste. A woman who probably knows how to shop a vintage Chloé coat and who knows how to choose things well from thrift stores," explains Walicka-Maimone, who turned Audrey's white silk jacket from the book into a more "grounded" and city-friendly wool version. "It couldn't be like a flow-y white coat because it would look like a silly ghost.
In drastic contrast, Xandra , Theo's deadbeat dad's girlfriend, visually contrasts with Mrs. Barbour's refinement in her zebra print puffy, a lace-up peasant ruffle top, too-tight jeans and sky-high patent platform pumps — none of which look comfy for a cross-country flight to the teen's new Las Vegas home. Walicka-Maimone opted for zebra over street style-favored leopard print to fit the "playfulness" of the Las Vegan .
"Who is there to tell [her] what good taste is?" she asks. "I actually found that Xandra's taste was fabulous within her own vocabulary." Pippa — the little girl Theo meets on the fateful day at the Met, bonds with after the tragedy and loves into adulthood — embodies what Theo and the movie are representing. While the adult Pippa, played by Ashleigh Cummings has limited scenes, her costumes really make an impact, both on-screen and off.
