The Costume Designer Who Made The Women Of Amazon's 'Hanna' Ready For Anything

www.forbes.com: In Amazon Prime's Hanna, which dropped on March 29, the characters travel across Europe, adapting to new cities and situations. Costume designer Emily Batson had to consider all of these different factors, as she created looks that reflect each character's personality, and where they are at each moment of their arc. The women who lead this series face particular trials, as they kick a**, form bonds, and ultimately just try to survive. I spoke to Batson about how she created these nuanced looks.

This article caught my eye because of its title and I wanted to know how to do it myself. It’s fairly simple- just buy cheaper clothes. The only thing is that you have to search a little harder for the good pieces but its still virtually the same. I think this article just goes to show that you do not need a ton of money in order to looks good, because if that was the truth then almost everyone would look terrible. Especially nowadays, there stores that recreate items that a sought after by the public and make it significantly cheaper therefore increasing the appeal and in turn satisfying the customer. Even people who do have money to buy nice things that are “fashionable”, don’t know how to style it, so you basically can’t even tell that its an expensive item. Overall, I agree with the argument and story of the article and I admire Montana Levi Blanco for voicing this message.
