Designer Erin Benach also looked to streetwear culture to dress Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and her 'girl gang.'
Pardon my very simple, if not nearly monosyllabic, review of the Margot Robbie-starring "Birds of Prey:" It's a badass, fun and super hot ride. The same can also be said for the thrilling costumes by Erin Benach, who's previously covered high-concept style , character-driven historical drama and a retelling of an Old Hollywood classic .
"She really means it. There was just a feeling of female camaraderie, and that was the vibe of movie: the girl gang," says Benach. "It's coming from a place of fun, liberation, freedom and party — and Harley has to be a leader." In a too-quick montage, Harley burns off steam as a roller derby bruiser. Benach incorporates her signature red and black palette and stars, but updated the look with flames blazing up the side panels.
Repping Harley's pink and teal palette, Benach custom-built the coat, along with the personalized slouchy graphic tee, striped denim cut-offs with suspenders and velvet sports bra. But, her white booties, with a wedge heel — ideal for hand-to-hand combat and shooting up Gotham PD HQ with her beanbag and confetti-packed "Fun Gun" — are by Isabel Marant.
Benach found an etcher in New York who, after trying out about "50 samples," successfully translated Harley's diamond Harlequin pattern onto two-toned gleaming gold leather. Her team then made approximately 20 multiples for stunt artists and doubles for the nail-biter sequence, also involving a motorcycle/car chase and a pair of roller-skates.
"Of course, there wasn't enough of it to go around for [Black Canary] and her stunt team, but I couldn't give it up," says Benach. "My whole team was just like, 'Erin, pick another fabric!'" As a fix, the costume designer had the brocade pattern printed onto a stretch material for the doubles. "I'm glad we didn't give it up because you do get the subtle print, the texture and the depth.
Benach did custom build Montoya's shirt-turned-jacket — or what she calls "a shacket" — along the very non-Montoya bustier that she pulls out of Harley's trunk.
