CANBERRA, April 17 -- Fascinated by the costumes in The Dressmaker? People in Australia's capital now have a chance to take a close look at the dresses that Tilly Dunnage acted by Kate Winslet used as weapon for her revenge in the film.
The Dressmaker Costume Exhibition, which will start on Thursday at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) in Canberra and run until Aug. 18, displaces the film's sumptuous designs, as well as the transformational power of fashion with 31 costumes.
The Dressmaker is a bittersweet comedy-drama in early 1950s Australia, where a beautiful and talented woman Tilly Dunnage, who, as a child, was blamed as a murderer. Returning to the small town of Dungatar, she used the skills she learned from Paris fashion houses to investigate the truth and revenge.
"We are excited to have a little piece of Dungatar in our gallery, and look forward to welcoming audiences to the exhibition," said Jan Muller, CEO of the NFSA. "When they see these costumes up close, they will be impressed by the level of artistry that went into their creation."
Designers Marion Boyce and Margot Wilson for the film were awarded Best Costume Design at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards in 2017.
Sue Maslin, producer of the film, told Xinhua at the media preview on Wednesday that it was very important in the movie that "the costume tells the story."
"In many other films, costumes are decoration of the characters, but in this film it is all about transformation," she said. "Tilly Dunnage arrived in this town which is in the middle of nowhere, and she had her Singer sewing machine which is her weapon, and she used it to get revenge on those who did her wrong years ago."
