Nosferatu 's Oscar-nominated costume designer on how period-accurate clothing can transport you back in timePosted: Jan 23, 2025 6:35 PM EST | Last Updated: 2 hours ago
Linda Muir is no stranger to recreating historically accurate, period-era attire in painstaking detail.
In the films that Robert makes, the four that we've worked together on, they are all period films and they are, you know, involving storylines, costumes, settings that a contemporary audience isn't necessarily familiar with. And then that same style of nightgown carries through in two scenes … one of which is a somnambulistic walk outside, you know, from the interior of a very posh home into a cobbled street. And so that is a different kind of lighting. And so I wanted it to look like the same nightgown, but to be a different weight that wasn't as revealing for the actress.
In this particular film, we were on set in … this very upscale home. It's all Peter Meyer furniture … beautifully decorated. And the ladies are in their evening attire … the governess is there and the children and they're all in a parlour together. And the gentlemen are two rooms behind us in a billiards room, smoking cigars and drinking scotch. And we were, you know, waiting for final tweaks on lighting.
