Alice In Wonderland Costume
Alice In Wonderland Costume – The Beginning To The New Design
When famed Academy Award designer, Colleen Atwood was commissioned to design the costumes for the film “Alice In Wonderland” by Tim Burton earlier this year, her self proclaimed challenge was to avoid the style of the Alice in Wonderland costume that arrived in bags at drug stores every Halloween. She actually did a “180”, to coin a popular phrase today, and used her creative talents along with John Tenniel’s and Lewis Carroll’s illustrations that were used in the 1865 classic early editions.
Her designs were so different that most of the film’s cast was unrecognizable in their roles. Anne Hathaway as a bright and frosty White Queen; Johnny Depp as the clown-faced Mad Hatter; and who can forget Helena Bonham Carter as the cartoon like Red Queen. Ms. Atwood, though, takes only partial credit for the cast make over, and expresses gratitude to the very talented hair and makeup team. Since the film combined animation with live action, her designs were further enhanced by the magic that only movies can make.

I love this site. Alice in Wonderland has been one of my very favorite fairy tales when I was a little girl and now I have been reading it to my own daughter. All of those special characters in the story, and then when the movie came out, just made me enjoy it so much more. I’m going to buy the little girl version of Alice for my daughter this year and I know she will be so cute. Thanks for the memories!!
