THE POLITICIAN: THE FAB STYLING OF GWYNETH PALTROW

When we are first introduced to Georgina aka Gwyneth Paltrow, she is wearing a green caftan and painting a picture. It's not the last time we see Georgina in an elegant outfit, but in all episodes of series, Gwyneth Paltrow wears wonderful dresses.Costume designer Claire Parkinson illustrates us with Georgina’s look, a character always dressed over-the-top, in an evening gown while she’s gardening, that dripping in expensive jewelry, always dressed inappropriately. Parkinson took inspiration from midcentury society photographer Slim Aarons's coverage of posh Palm Springs, cinematic political satires like "Election" and 1972's "The Candidate" and quintessential fashion houses: "'70s Halston" and "very much Gucci." Paltrow's longtime stylist Elizabeth Saltzman gave an assist with her industry connections to pull current-season pieces from Rodeo Drive-level high-end, design houses where Georgina would probably shop: Tom Ford and loads of Gucci.
Georgina wears a powder-pink and caped power pantsuit by Duro Olowu when she met her lawyers, or when Georgina ventures out of Santa Barbara, she wears a Valentino pre-fall 2018 cape-mini-trench emblazoned with a sketch of a tiger head. Ryan Murphy wanted her really eccentric, over the top, always dressed to the nines, even if she was … gardening or painting by poolside. We really love this opulent style!

IL SERVO

My last work as costume designer.
This show directed by  Pierpaolo Sepe  and Andrea Renzi part from theatrical adaptation that the same Robin Maugham realized in 1958 and crosses with the atmosphere of the film that in the '60s Joseph Losey realised with Harold Pinter script.
I enjoyed creating  bourgeois and not bourgeois characters with  original  or revisited sixties outfits.

SOME GIRL(S)

 My last work: Some girl(s) 

On the eve of his wedding, a successful writer travels across the country to meet up with ex-lovers in an attempt to make amends for past relationship transgressions. Neil LaBute’s stage play, Some Girl(s) is a provocative drama about the perils of relationships and messy breakups in particular. Driven by a series of strong performances it veers into dark areas at times, but the episodic nature of the story keeps things fresh and intriguing.

From tonight untill december 15th at Piccolo Teatro Bellini in Naples-Some girl(s) by Neil La Bute

with: Martina Galletta, Rachele Minelli, Bianca Nappi, Roberta Spagnuolo, Gabriele Russo, Guia Zapponi. Directed by Marcello Cotugno

Production designer Luigi Ferrigno

Sketch of girls dresses

Initial sketch: The idea is to dress all the girls in tube dress, the same as if they were mere pawns, or lego bricks manipulated by the main character, differ only in color and shape according to the character's personality
