MARILYN

MY PROCESS

THE DIRECTOR'S MOOD BOARD

Marilyn is  kid, a student and dresses like one. Sweet, but very shy and small for her age.

SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL CLOTHES

Marilyn's school clothes are unique to the 50's, but also show her vulnerability.

03

SHOPPING FOR FUNERAL CLOTHES

Maryilyn's funeral dress contrasts the openness of her school uniform dress while emphasizing her vulnerability.

04

SHOPPING FOR NIGHTTIME CLOTHES

Marilyn's nighttime clothes reflect her most vulnerable moment throughout the film.

TAKEAWAYS

Through this project, I learned the importance of researching historical clothing and finding online stores that have equivalent clothing. There are a lot of different types of clothing from the 50s, and different circumstances they would be worn in. It was important to me that the clothing, by themselves, could convey the time period. Since 50's clothing isn't easily accessible, I had to be able to adapt  by searching for historical clothing websites and go thrifting for the proper costumes.
