www.thewrap.com: When Jonathan Anderson, former creative director of Loewe and founder of JW Anderson, and filmmaker Luca Guadagnino first met over coffee in Milan, the connection was instant and marked the beginning of a game-changing creative partnership. “It was one of those meetings where I felt like I had known Luca all my life,” Anderson recalled. “We were meant to just have a coffee, but then we chatted all afternoon.”

The key word of this article is collaboration. I think it’s so beautiful how two creative minds can just connect and produce something amazing. It really makes me love what I do when working with people who get me and who want to explore and create something bigger than ourselves. This article also pushes the saying that “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” It’s sad to say that there’s a really fine line, but honestly, if you’re not easy to work with, especially when it comes to storytelling, then you’re not gonna get hired. Sometimes, that takes letting go of parts of yourself and your artistic integrity, but it sometimes has to happen. Within this article, though, it seems like Guadagnino and Anderson are a match that work really well together. All in all, it’s beautiful to see healthy working relationships in creative endeavors and makes me really excited to meet more people and work to create.
Ah yes. Challengers. I am very happy to see this iconic film is still relevant and showing up on my Newsquiz. I had no idea that the designer of Challengers was a first time film costume designer. I think their background in high fashion is fascinating as I feel a lot of the time costume designers are quite the opposite, starting with base scraps and very little resources. I do think that this project was a very good project for someone with this background. Tashi and Art have a lot of corporate and brand sponsorships that appear within their clothes, and I thought that it was very well done, which now makes sense as the designer has a background in doing just that professionally. Something that is also very unique in this article is the ceramic renderings of the costumes and characters. I genuinely dont think I have ever seen costume renderings that way. I also loved how the movie ended up influencing Loewe fashion collections. It is a lovely example of life imitating art and art imitating life.
