Award Winning Costumes That Brought Films To Life

Into The Woods Had A Fairytale Twist

In Disney’s big screen version of the musical that puts several fairy tale characters together in the same universe, costume designer Colleen Atwood found herself yet another success. Into The Woods won a CDG award and scored an Oscar nomination for Atwood’s designs — no surprise there — and she said that the textures and colors of nature had a lot to do with the way she designed the movie’s wardrobe. She had to adjust Cinderella’s dress to fit this version of the princess, and she had to dress the legendary Meryl Streep as The Witch, which Atwood called “a great collaborative process.” We’ll say!
