Miss Peregrine’s Costume Designer Tells All – In Theaters Now #StayPeculiar

13450726_921857701256098_6043754082254031267_n

Get Ready to see Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children hitting theatres on Friday September 30th.  This film does not disappoint  bringing the story of Ransom Riggs to life.   When first reading this book over the summer I was mesmerized by the characters and their “Peculiar” abilities.  Little did I know that a few months later I would be seeing a preview of the film and then have the opportunity to meet the Author, Costume designer and several members of the cast.

Stay Peculiar is the theme of not only the accepting our differences but taking pride in them that resonated most with the filmmakers. It’s a two-word mission statement that it’s cool – and even necessary- to be different.  What makes the young Peculiars different is also what makes them able, strong and special.

Colleen Atwood is the costume designer for the film. She is a three time Academy Award winner has worked with Tim Burton on several other films including  their first collaboration on Edward Scissorhands.  Much has changed  since the first time working together while Tim Burton continues to push the envelope on design and inspiration.  Colleen knows what he is looking for, there is no drama – they keep it real and the outcome is always a success.

She is able to capture the essence of the each character –  Though the book  gives images of what the characters are supposed to look like they each have taken on their own persona with help from the actors.  Only the twins have stayed very similar to the photos that are depicted.

For Miss Peregrine’s costume- Colleen didn’t want it to just be a traditional black skirt ensemble. It is a combination of navy blue and wool crepe.  Though Eva Green does transform into a bird in the film, as she is an ymbrine she didn’t want the outfit to be too bird like. Their are pointed sleeves to the costume and an iridescence to the  feather look on the box pleat on the sleeve.  It is very subtle and the detail is amazing as it is with each outfit that has been put together.

When coming up with Ella Purnell’s Costume for her character  Emma  a lot of time and detail went into the iron clad boots- to keep her from floating away. Though the boots were not extremely heavy they wanted to have enough weight to keep the actor in check with how she has to walk and move as if they were anchors for her.   Colleen came up with the idea of using ski boot bindings to allow easy access on and off for the footwear allowing quick on and off releases during scenes.  With a simple release Emma was able to float away  but with the help of Jake she was never too far away. You will also notice the are like essence her dress has just like a cloud so soft and yet moves so easily.

Though the film covers 2 time periods 2016 and the 1940’s the style has a common feature of being more classic and paying homage to Jake’s grandfather with his 40’s inspired shirts with a modern twist.  This time loop only requires about one costume for many of the characters.    They are repeating the same day over and over  so each each outfit must be unique and stand alone to give the character substance.  millard_02 I enjoyed hearing from Colleen about working with children as they are honest with opinions regarding fits of clothes. Many adult actors will make it work- however children get fidgety if something doesn’t fit correctly or their shoes are bothering them.  Shoes for the youngest members of the cast where a little bit of a nuance and were worked on for each of them to get the perfect fit so everyone would be as comfortable as possible.  In this day and age many kids are accustomed to wearing sneakers for the most part and not a traditional dress shoe.

Olive played by Lauren McCrostie is a free spirit – with fire at her finger tips.  She wears long play gloves at all times unless necessary otherwise she will ignite everything that she touches.   The shine and texture to the gloves make them even more elegant looking than you would think.  They are made of a very fine black patent leather. peregrines-one-sheet-jacob

From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When Jake discovers clues to a mystery that spans alternate realities and times, he uncovers a secret refuge known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As he learns about the residents and their unusual abilities, Jake realizes that safety is an illusion, and danger lurks in the form of powerful, hidden enemies. Jake must figure out who is real, who can be trusted, and who he really is.

NYC/Westchester Mom to 3 Teens who love to #travel #health #DisneySMC #teacher #westchester

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
