See how award-winning costume designer clintramos captured the glamour of Aretha Franklin for the new IAMJHUD-starring movie 'Respect.'
How to bring the Queen of Soul to the big screen with the right amount of glamour and, well, respect? Enter Clint Ramos, who is behind the costumes for the new film about Aretha Franklin, “Respect,” starring Jennifer Hudson in the lead role. Ramos has a relatively short list of film work but is well-rooted in the stage world.
C.R.: Yeah. I would say, 75 to 80 percent of what Jennifer wore in the movie was bespoke. For me, it was important that I needed to do all of her clothing bespoke: a), because of Jennifer’s proportions; Jennifer, actually, is a very tall woman and Aretha wasn’t. And I didn’t want to be subject to only vintage clothing.
I plunged into all the photographs that were available. Our movie, although it spans three and a half decades, a lot of Aretha’s looks were not photographed. Right? Because she wasn’t famous then. So I had to cobble that together through archival stock or really old black-and-white photographs. Or in most of the cases, prior to the Columbia [Records] years, it was really just me conjuring up what she would’ve worn.
Marlon Wayans stars as Ted White and Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin in “Respect.” Quantrell D. ColbertC.R. It’s scale. I think for me, a costume is a costume is a costume, whether we do it for film, dance or theater. A dress is a dress is a dress. Right? But when you multiply that by a thousand or 1,500 people. Like for instance, when we did Madison Square Garden, for that Respect concert, we dressed 1,000 people, at least.
