DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sofia Coppola USA

She masterfully blends historical costume aesthetics with intimate psychological explorations, as seen in Marie Antoinette and The Bling Ring.

 Joe Wright UK

His visually sumptuous period dramas like Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina prioritize elaborate costumes as integral expressions of character and emotion.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

He deconstructs costume drama conventions through baroque production design and subversive storytelling in films like The Favourite and Poor Things.
