Many Victorian films always portray the rich society of England, due to the Industrial Revolution. However, it is amazing to realize how through the use of textures, accessories, silhouettes, and colour it is possible to create a still Victorian but gothic and mad world. Colleen Atwood, a multiple costume design award winner, has always surprised us with her talent. This movie, being a classic tale, is not the exception of her expertise and passion.

He was living a happy life with his wife and daughter as an English Barber in the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. An evil Judge, because of his desire for Benjamin Barker’s wife, falsely accused Benjamin Barker of committing a crime he did not commit.

DIY Costume Items

I remember being so excited by this sequence when I first saw the film because “By the Sea” is one of my favorite songs from the musical. After the runaway success of her new and improved pie shop, Mrs. Lovett excitedly tells a distracted Sweeney about her plans for a future together. The garishly colorful scenes are a fun break from all the dark and gory depictions of London, and the bold costumes prove that all Tim Burton movies require that someone at some point be wearing a ridiculous amount of stripes. This sleek gray vest is part of Sweeney Todd’s barber and work day professional attire. He has very little color in his wardrobe, so this gray vest fits him well.
