Costume designer Arianne Phillips captures Bob Dylan's style for Timothée Chalamet in new film
Arianne Phillips, costume designer for "A Complete Unknown," has spent five years studying Bob Dylan's style for the film, which stars Timothée Chalamet as the musician. The film covers Dylan's rise from 1961 to 1965, featuring over 65 costume changes. Phillips recreated iconic outfits from Dylan's career, including his leather jacket and red shirt from the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. She collaborated with Levi's to source vintage jeans and create custom pieces reflecting Dylan's evolving fashion. Dylan provided script notes but did not share his wardrobe. Phillips relied on biographies and personal accounts to capture Dylan's essence, emphasizing the importance of costume in portraying a character's journey.
