Margot Robbie's 'Wuthering Heights' Meets Chanel... 60 Costume Changes Promise 'Unprecedented Visuals'

Emily Brontë's immortal classic is reborn in the most glamorous form with the best production team in Hollywood. The film 〈Wuthering Heights〉, set to be released on February 11, is captivating audiences with its overwhelming mise-en-scène and fashion scale.

This work reinterprets the narrative of 'Cathy' and 'Heathcliff', engulfed in fateful love and destructive desire, with a modern sensibility. Notably, the master costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who won the Academy Award for 〈Little Women〉 and 〈Barbie〉, has joined to create a unique style that coexists with classical elegance and modern sophistication.

Meeting of 1800s Authenticity and 1950s Melodrama Mood

Director Jacqueline Durran did not limit herself to the authenticity of a specific era but incorporated a vast array of materials from the 1790s to the 1870s, infused with the emotions of 1940s-50s melodramas. There are 38 custom dresses made specifically for Margot Robbie, who plays the role of 'Cathy', and the number of costume changes in the film reaches a staggering 60.

Each silhouette and texture of the costumes reflects the changing psychology and desires of the characters. The production team meticulously designed the details of the costumes to match the atmosphere of each scene, adding narrative depth beyond visual pleasure.

Collaboration with Chanel... Harmony of Vintage Jewelry and 7-Meter Hairpiece

In particular, the special collaboration with the French luxury brand Chanel (CHANEL) elevated the film's quality. Chanel carefully selected vintage jewelry that possesses both historical value and sophistication from its brand archive. The costume team showcased bold styling by transforming these into hair accessories beyond mere adornments.

In line with the extravagant costumes, over 46 different hairstyles were created. The hairpieces used to extend Margot Robbie's hair length total over 7 meters, and it is said that intricate dyeing work was carried out to ensure that numerous wigs and real hair blended naturally.

With the best production capabilities in Hollywood gathered, 〈Wuthering Heights〉 announces a modern revival of the classic beyond visual achievement and is set to meet audiences in theaters nationwide on February 11.
