, Jenny Beavan would have the opportunity to craft dazzlingly inventive designs befitting a world of fashion, and to put her stamp on a classic Disney character. Still, she admits that when she was first approached for the Craig Gillespie film, her initial response was one of “fear, not excitement,” given the fact that she would need to prep the “massive” production in just 10 weeks.
Another principal character giving Beavan a lot to work with in terms of style was The Baroness, the haute couture designer played by Emma Thompson who employs Estella at her fashion house, later coming to realize that she plays a much larger role in the young woman’s story than she could have imagined. “She had to be slightly old-fashioned, even though she was a very good fashion designer. She had to be wonderfully frightening, very slightly heightened,” Beavan explains.
Fabricating the dress was Kirsten Fletcher, an “extraordinary” Australian cutter that she’d previously worked with on Disney’s. “She’s brilliant at putting together these massive, crazy pieces. Actually, one came runner up in something called the World of WearableArt in New Zealand, where they do incredible work with clothing that is more like architecture, often, than actual clothes,” Beavan explains.
Her crash course in theater design came by way of a course at London’s Central School of Art and Design, which had her studying under Ralph Koltai, a set designer who was “absolutely at the peak” of his career. “He used to take us to all the dress rehearsals for opera at Covent Garden and the English National Opera, and the plays he was doing, and he was inspirational,” says Beavan. “I really, really wanted to be a theater set designer.
