Daniel Craig Goes Vintage: How 'Queer' Costumes Are Redefining Hollywood Wardrobe Magic!

Prepare yourself for a wild cinematic ride as Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey team up for Luca Guadagnino’s much-anticipated film "Queer"! This boundary-pushing adaptation of William S. Burroughs' auto-fiction sees Craig stepping into the shoes of Lee, a mid-century drug addict navigating the mysterious streets of 1940s Mexico City. But it's not just the plot that's captivating – the costumes are about to blow your mind.

Prolific fashion director Jonathan Anderson returned to join forces with Guadagnino, crafting wardrobe magic reminiscent of the era's style but with a modern twist. Imagine Lee’s pristine white suit turning a drug-induced shade of brown as the movie progresses. Could it get more symbolic?

The costume journey didn’t stop with Lee. Anderson unleashed creative genius for Allerton, Lee’s object of desire, dressing him in tantalizing translucent shirts that whisper tales of mystery and obsession. And yes, for all those wardrobe connoisseurs out there, Allerton's authentic Shetland sweater – yep, directly from Scotland – was plucked from the 1950s archives!

During a zoom call from his London lair, Anderson dished on the jaw-dropping casting moments and Luca’s trust in his visionary silhouette expertise. If you ever thought fashion was just about clothes, think again. It’s about stealing the scene and manifesting character greatness. Speaking of epic moments, Anderson’s social media is buzzing with costume and wardrobe tests from the “Queer” set. Who wouldn't want a sneak peek?

The real revelation was meeting Daniel Craig in Brooklyn for a costume fitting. Imagine standing there, heart pounding, as Craig immediately nails the perfect vintage suit for Lee. It’s the kind of genius that can only be heralded by a blockbuster star understanding a one-garment movie magic concept. Truly iconic.

Director Luca trusts Anderson’s keen eye, from casting to costume design – truly Rizutto-esque in its advisory capacity. But then again, wouldn’t you trust someone who transforms tennis outfits into narrative power moves? Anderson himself reckons “Challengers” and “Queer” play with the theme of out-of-suitcase living, subtly speaking to our everyday clothing habits.
