www.telegraph.co.uk: Whether you celebrated Valentine’s Day or not, you would have to possess a heart of stone not to be moved by One Day, the new Netflix adaptation of David Nicholls’s bestselling 2009 novel about Emma and Dexter, two university friends whose will-they-won’t-they situationship is a heartfelt reminder that the course of true love never does run smooth.

It was really mind-boggling to me that recreating a nineties wardrobe would get as much attention as it did in this article, and then I remembered that the nineties are almost 30 years old and 20 more years away from being considered vintage. It's sort of wild to look at photographs of older siblings, cousins, and my parents and to think that their outfits would have to be carefully curated for a film. I will say that I am incredibly excited to see the film and the photos the article provided do really give me an image of the nineties while still allowing each character to have the nuisance to their personal style to give them a realistic feel to their character and look. I do have to read the book first, but I so far enjoy the costume curation for the film, I think it will add some nice depth to it.
This is so insane that this article is up here as I watched the One Day show on a whim last night, not knowing anything about it and now am reading about its costume design. One of the nice things about the clothing in the show, is at times it can look very aesthetic and nice, however still throughout it feels reel, and like something someone might actually wear, rather than a costume. I presume it would be super difficult to accomplish this, especially as the designer was researching what you could call a period or era - specific clothing style, however the 90’s and early 20’s were so close to now that it must be difficult to find the line between a stereotype and caricature and real life, and what feels natural. I assume the clothing in England and the UK (where the show is based) was also slightly different to that of clothing in the US, so if I was designing this show I would have to take that into account of my own perceptions of the decade. Overall, super cool that there is an article on the design of this show, it was very a visually nice show to watch, and so random I came across it right before reading this!
