ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE Strikes A Fashion Pose

By Michelle McCue | June 23, 2016

From Cecil Beaton and Edith Head to Sandy Powell and Colleen Atwood, the work of costume designers is crucial to the look of the characters of any movie.

The Academy Award for Best Costume Design is given out annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for the best achievement of film costume design of the previous year. Films that are eligible for the award must meet a series of criteria, including the requirement that the costumes must have been “conceived” by a costume designer.

None is more important than the costumes and fashion in the upcoming ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, provided by artists Rebecca Hale, Giles Deacon and Charlotte Sewell.

Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots.

Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more! (Trailer)
