Oscar Winner Jenny Beavan has designed costumes for a wide spectrum of films, from the streets of London in Cruella to the wastelands of Mad Max: Fury Road. But her latest project called on her to create and enliven fashion that has already existed for almost a hundred years, that of the House of Christian Dior. Watch the video, and read about how she had to fill "the tall order of designing for perhaps the year's most fashionable film, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris."

From A.Frame:

"Earlier this year, British costume designer Jenny Beavan won the Oscar for Best Costume Design with her de Vil-ishly stylish work on Cruella. (She's been nominated 11 times in total and won two additional times, for 1985's A Room With a View and 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road). Her newest project sees her taking on the tall order of designing for perhaps the year's most fashionable film, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.

The film, directed by Anthony Fabian, follows Mrs. Ada Harris (Lesley Manville), a cleaning lady working in 1950s London, who falls in love with a Dior dress she discovers in a wealthy client's armoire. After saving up the necessary money, she travels to Paris so that she can purchase her own haute couture dress, only to find herself up against the gatekeepers of the House of Dior (including Isabelle Huppert's Claudine Colbert)."

Watch the video below to get "a deeper look at the exquisite Dior gown recreations and 1950's European fashion."
