'The fact that Zoolander isn't really about fashion in 1999, but more just about vanity in general, is why the movie has held up'
’s fashion, which encapsulated the era’s style while also parodying it, is prime for revisiting. That’s why MTV News sat down with the film’s costume designer, David Robinson, to break down its most iconic looks.MTV News: What drew you to the story? What was the process of translating the script for you?I started the job five weeks before we shot because they fired a previous designer and brought me on. There were no costumes. So there was a push to act fast, and it was fun.
I went back to the drawing board and said, for the funeral, it's really about how clueless Derek is. Putting him in all white at the funeral or putting him in a python suit with matching luggage at the coal mine, those became the jokes that we carried through. I think it's why the movie probably survived because, if we tied the fashion moments or ideas of 1999, it would've just looked dated. But the jokes are really not about that.
MTV News: The funeral outfit was one of the things that I noticed. So I'm glad you mentioned that. How did you work on the development of the characters through the costume?With Katinka, Milla Jovovich’s character, Ben clear made it clear she was this femme fatale. Super sexy and beautiful, but also deadly. No one does that better than Mugler. So I went through the femme fatales of all his fashion shows and picked out a number of them. And that became how we approached her.
As far as Ben went, he really liked a variety of things. It wasn't just the black lamé suit, times 10. He had so many different looks in that movie. There was the boucle suit with red leather patches. We tried to find different, interesting, fun, colorful things for him. It opens with him in that Gucci printed scarf and sweater, which I'm sure made people in the fashion industry gasp with horror. But it's funny. It was just so obviously very luxurious and expensive and kind of over the top. That was my approach, to find humor in the context.Hansel is a very new-age hippie. We made all of his stuff. He was a very fun character for me, and Owen [Wilson] was game all the way.For Ben, I think we made pretty much everything.
