I like how she said the costumes were MORE perfect than the true outfits because that’s how people remembered them. Oscar winner statement right there

I’m hoping she wins the Oscar for Best Costume Design

This is the reason why Catherine Martin will win her 3rd Oscar in Costume Design. Her costumes are absolutely stunning. Her explanation of how and why the pants were structured in that way was fascinating. Moreover, it also shows why every aspect of filmmaking deserves to be recognized at the Oscar’s live telecast and not in the pre-show. These creators and designers and crafters of art are all quite magnificent. Brava!

This is sort of a mini master class on costume design and how the mind of the designer works in therms of accuracy. I hope all of the historical costumes KZfaqrs would see this and understand a little bit of the process and not so be harsh with the movies and designers who made it.

She did a great job transforming Austin into Elvis he is a great Elvis love the costumes and designs awesome info

She had better win Best Costume. Elvis had an enviable strong sense of confidence that fits the daring creative flair and so much of who he was, in his everyday look & on stage look, and when those two aspects comes together into a truly rebellious yet natural fashion identity that I adore and admire about Elvis.

as a student of costume design, this is very helpful to me, all the process of creating the costumes.

Watched the movie yesterday. Still thinking about it. I loved all the pieces where he was wearing belts and jewellery. And the white costume he wore in Vegas. Catherine Martin I hope you win another Oscar!

I will admit, I thought this movie was going to be a flop or not that good because to me Austin naturally looks NOTHING like Elvis. BUT BOY was I wrong. I ended up going to see it in theaters because everyone was saying how good it was. I was honestly shocked at how AMAZING IT WAS!! AUSTIN played Elvis perfectly, no-one could have played it any better. It was so heartbreaking and I didn't know much about Elvis at all....I only knew he was super famous, an icon and he was married, had Lisa, was an icon and died of an Overdose. This was an incredible story that told you his side....and why he turned to drugs and just how he was worked to the BONE! :( It's so so sad. I love Britney Spears so much and I see so much of her in him and their stories are very similar to some degree. Totally taken advantage of, obviously neither of them were perfect but had very good hearts, generous, trusting souls. :( Anyways, I am now a true Elvis fan, I have spent my day off researching more about him because I am so interested in his life and story more then ever. I did not care or have an interest before. That truly speaks for itself about this movie!!!!

I love how Baz considered the movie an interpretation rather than imitation of Elvis….that’s why the movie is such a success….all Baz’s movies are fantastic.

They did an incredible job.. I’m a huge Elvis fan and have seen all of these costumes up close and personal and she absolutely nailed it.

Who would have thought that there was more than one lot leather pants! Catherine is an artist and her attention to detail is amazing

I've only seen a few clips but I can't believe Austin is really singing. It's so good

The costumes were brilliantly done. A part of me wonders why they didn’t have a shot in the gold lame suit. Its an iconic piece that worked with baz’s style. Who knows. It might be in the extended version

The fact that Catherine does the production design too (I imagine with an amazing team behind her) is kind of boggling.

I loved this. What an artist and architect she is.

"We created a chart with all of Elvis' jumpsuits...it was a very LONG chart." 😅 Pretty stoked this was made here on the Gold Coast. Cant wait to go check out the film this week.

Catherine Martin is amazing! Listening to her describe the wardrobe process was genius, especially for someone, like me, who sews garments.

Omg! I’m so glad she mentioned the differences in the costumes! I just watched the movie in may then rewatched a bunch of Elvis old clips on KZfaq then visited Graceland in September and kept having this feeling about how Austin’s suits were a little different. Just glad I wasn’t imagining it.

This is truly a gem! One cannot have often such an in-depth glance into this amazing process. Every aspect of a movie making is actually paramaount and contributes to the success of the whole. Every piece of the puzzle is an independent art and yet at the end these puzzle pieces must come together and form a homogeneous, gorgeous masterpiece. I was more than thrilled watching this video and wish to thank Catherine Martin for the explanations and you for sharing them!

I love how technically specific she is when describing her process, it's so educating to listen to these details. What an amazing job, thank you for explaining it so thoroughly.

She had me at "The Great Gatsby". So talented!

This is beyond interesting and so detailed in the clothes and why they were designed the way they were.

She must win another oscar for costume design in elvis

Elvis was so unique and his style reflected that.

Fantastic interview. She is a true artist. I have never been an Elvis fan, but this is fascinating.

Being an Elvis fan and a theatre teacher, I totally appreciate this video! Thank you so much; it was wonderful! I'm always trying to find the right costumes for my productions. It's so important. She's brilliant! She deserves a fifth Oscar!

The costumes in this film were breathtaking (everything in this film was amazing!)

This woman is a genius!

WOW! What a fabulous job Catherine did of describing the costume creation for Austin Butlers Elvis interpretation... I learnt a lot I never ever realized before... Congratulations to all on this movie, a fabulous movie that I truly believe will become a classic alongside Gone With The Wind, Ben Hur, Wizard Of Oz & many other great iconic classics...👍😊❤

Wow you never think that much thought goes into creating Costumes. So interesting she did a excellent job. Saw the movie and I loved all the costumes. Austin Butler played him so well I wanted to get out of my seat. Austin Butler should get an Oscar. The costume Designer should get an Oscar. The whole movie should get an Oscar.

I could have listened to that all night. Normally I could care less about this topic, but when it comes to Elvis,I was interested, and Catherine made it even moreso.

The lace shirts were the BOMB...!!!!

Just seen this movie Austin Butler really should get an Oscar brilliant performance .

Catherine Martin is one of my favourite costume designers. I love listening the creative process of bringing characters (real and fictional) alive. She is a true inspiration and I am super happy to have this interview to learn a little something about costume design Art.

i love when she says simi-lar-ily 🥰

They clearly did their homework and put a lot of detail into that film.

She's genius! Details beyond....wow! She needs to win a major award.

That was really fascinating. I've always been intrigued by costuming and couture, but it was very enlightening to to learn of the nuts-and-bolts that go into producing what the actors wear.

Hey Vanity Fair, could you please have her talk about the costumes for Moulin Rouge and Gatsby? PLEASE

This video is a master class, thank you Catherine!

I would have loved to have heard how they recreated his jumpsuits, because they are spot on! ❤️

I love the discussion of the process and design choices. This is the best VF video I’ve seen discussing costuming.

The costumes and art direction in this movie are totally sublime...just sheer beauty and style!

Headline should include the name of Catherine Martin, or CM, she is an icon, a four time Oscar winning icon, who has propelled Baz Luhrman’s films into the strata sphere. She also produces envy enduring wallpaper, which I so so want

Must have been a dream come true creating these costumes. Elvis is one of the greatest fashion icons of all time. What he wore was just as magical as what he was singing.

As someone who has on occasion sewn different types of clothing (including my own wedding dress), I found this fascinating!!!! Clothes are so much more that what we wear. Each article of clothing can make a statement, and this designer spoke to the process of creating these works of art and fashion brilliantly!!!!

This was so interesting! You can tell she's a pro at what she does

This was extremely interesting. Thank you for posting it!

Tremendous job! Love all the style & design in the movie. Perfect! Thank you. 💖

Can’t even imagine how thrilling and how much fun this was to do!

fantastic costumes, so well made! Saw this movie yesterday and the clothing was such an important part of getting it right

Absolutely fascinating interview!

I could watch her talk about this for hours wow!

Catherine Martin is a genius. I’ve seen all the movies she mentions several times and the costumes are immensely beautiful. The attention to detail is incredible. “Elvis” deserves several Oscars,SAGs,BAFTAS for Best Actor (Austin Butler), Producer, Director, Writer, Costume Design, Music Director and Best Movie. The movie is brilliant.

This is an incredible insight into what it takes to be a costumer. What detail is important and what isn't. so much focus! She did a fantastic job!

That was insanely information and fascinating! Catherine Martin is incredible!

Love these little mini documentaries on costuming.

Thank you for this. Just saw the movie and loved the costumes. Have a whole new appreciation for what goes into dressing the actors.

Fabulous and so clever , can’t wait to see the film. But her outfit’s just bloody divine ♥️💕

incredible insight in to the costume design. The Elvis movie production is outstanding.

So interesting to listen to the detail and knowledge needed to create the wonderful costumes !!!

Fashion was a Masterpeace and she is a genius!!🌹

Oscar for this amazing designer costume designer! Catherine Martin 🏆🥇

Didn’t this lady deserve to have her name shown in the title?

Can someone help me with a follow-up (BTW, I LOVED the Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie): One of the minor but not unimportant details in this movie is a brief montage showing Elvis in Vegas wearing jump suits and raising his arms to show the cape he's also wearing. That image of Elvis became a trope, widely imitated for comic effect, and thankfully Baz resisted anything shtick that might have demeaned Elvis' larger story. How did this movie acknowledge that image without pandering to it? A brief montage of 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 poses of Elvis jump suits and capes in different colors and details that made me feel like I wanted to jump up in the theatre and strike that pose (not a pretty sight). ? It's movie magic when something that grabs you for maybe ten seconds took dozens of hours of research, fabrication, rehearsal, and a final shoot. I admire it so much that I'm hoping someone can answer my three questions. Are there other fabulous details in this Baz Luhrmann triumph? HUNDREDS!

Wow! Amazing insight on the costumes for this film. I am so excited to see the costumes in this film. Didn't realize what a fashion icon Elvis was

The film is beautiful, very well done, but it sinned in not showing Elvis with his Golden Lame suit in 1957, it was Elvis' most iconic costume! This really made the film poorer, unfortunately.... a pity...

Astonishing performance by Austin Butler, amazing movie no doubt helped along by brilliant costumes.

everything she said was so inspiring, it was like a masterclass in fashion and costume designing. it really made me wanna pursue my dream that is fashion. she really took good care of Elvis’s fashion legacy and also did Austin great justice, and i can only thank and admire her immensely for that. and also the way she talked about Elvis at the end 🥹🥹 he was really something that only comes around once in history ❤️⚡️

Really enjoyed your short, thanks 😘

How did this expert learn costuming? What a fabulous career choice.

That was a fascinating video to watch. I had no idea so much went into costume design. So many pants for one scene.

These costumes made me melt. So beautiful

Kim K should have seen this before wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress

Loved this! I sew and worked in high fashion for many years in styling and trendspotting. She did a FABULOUS job.

This movie is incredible!! Watched it yesterday with my Wife and my Father.

Amazing attention to detail. The costumes in this film are amazing 👏

Austin is Beyond phenomenal.

Thanks for all you input.

Loved the film and costumes amazing 💞

This woman IS WONDER WOMAN!!! She has created some of the best costuming ever! 👏🥰👍👍

I want to personally thank you for putting Austin butler in those leather pants.

She is so amazing& perfect for the job,must win!

Her attention to detail is phenomenal.

Wow! What a tailoring class.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Catherine you and Baz compliment each other ! What a creative beautiful incredable team! 💕💙🙏🙏

Incredible detail💯

saw the movie last night, the costumes were really cool !

My god she is totally a clothes scientist

Thank you for this informative video; very interesting.....

She did a great job. The fashion he wore in the movie was really fun. A lot of pink thrown in there - pink cadillac!! Though the caddy wasn't that shade of pink at all...

This is just incredible!

amazing what goes into the costume designing today for the fabrics we had back then to now!

I hope the Designer in the movie gets an Oscar the clothes were fabulous

It's funny that they cast an audience for the performances. The actual people who were there are being portrayed by actors. Many of them are still with us and can see themselves in a movie.

So good. Sumptuous movie. 💜🌟🌸🙋‍♀️

Catherine you are WONDERFUL creative costume designer! You are extremely talented! 💕💕🙏🙏

Catherine Martin is a genius!

Preparation & perfection is the key. I see several OSCARS lining up! #Elvis Movie of the decade!
