Young Queen Charlotte, played by India Amarteifio, keeps to innocent pastels in her early scenes, but her colors grow bolder as her power does too.  (Liam Daniel/Netflix)

BY VALLI HERMAN

In the first minutes of the “Bridgerton” prequel “Queen Charlotte,” the namesake character complains heartily how her elaborate gown and its restrictive corset made of brittle and sharp whalebone means that if she moves too much, “I might be sliced and stabbed to death by my undergarments.”

Oh, dearest gentle reader, young Queen Charlotte hasn’t suffered in vain. Her every ensemble, and those of the show’s sizable cast, are crafted with such sumptuous detail, that surely all who view them would gladly have them suffer even more.

Even though period costumes are notoriously cumbersome, Emmy-winning costume designer Lyn Elizabeth Paolo and co-costume designer Laura Frecon dispel notions that the actors suffered much (thanks to light, modern fabrics and stretchy panels in their corsets). Still, the yearlong shoot in grand estates across the United Kingdom overlapped the pandemic lockdown and required worldwide sourcing. It seems that their brand of elegant finery was a tonic for distress, and a cause for celebration. The work, helped by a 220-person costume crew, has earned them a 2023 Emmy nomination for period costumes.

“This [shoot] was challenging, but also joyful. Every time a piece of a costume would come back, it was, ‘Oh, my God! It looks better than we thought it would.’ There was a lot of joy there,” says Paolo, the longtime designer for other Shonda Rhimes productions, such as “Inventing Anna” and “Scandal.”

The six-episode costume drama on Netflix explores the early days of the difficult marriage of Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) and King George III (Corey Mylchreest). The fictionalized story of the actual royals takes place in two time periods — the Georgian era of the 1760s and the later Regency era in which “Bridgerton” is set — and includes key characters from the original show. There are several grand balls, a royal wedding and a coronation to wardrobe. No biggie.

Or so Paolo was led to believe.

“I remember Sara Fischer, who is head of production at Shondaland, called me and said, ‘Shonda has this idea for a small, intimate show. She really wants you to do it.’ And, what are you going to say?” recalls Paolo, who was a consultant on Season 2 of “Bridgerton.”

She invented a time-twisting concept inspired by Monet and Matisse paintings and modern fashion designers who themselves referenced historical costume such as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Moschino, Zuhair Murad and Christian Dior in his New Look era. Yet Paolo kept the silhouette appropriately Georgian.

“The pitch was, we kind of want it to look like a Met Ball … but to be slightly more on point with the period. We still wanted to have our own stylistic elements that would make sure that the modern eye understood the costumes,” Paolo says.

“For the men, we had images of rock ‘n’ roll icons from the ‘70s and ‘80s. So a lot of images of Prince, the New Romantics and Adam Ant. All those people back then who had that pirate chic going on.”

That vision required a mostly custom-made wardrobe that sourced from London, Los Angeles, New York, Budapest and Spain. Jewelers Joseff of Hollywood, Manhattan’s Larkspur & Hawk and Italy’s Pikkio custom made the period jewelry and other adornments. British manufacturer James Hare supplied traditional fabrics as did a mill hours from London that wove custom fabrics. Smaller artisan shops focused on hand embroidery or a particular character.

“It was sort of a small army,” says Paolo, who relied on the organizational skills of Frecon. A giant calendar and flow chart helped them track the flow of work, particularly of the embroidered pieces, which were outsourced to UK specialists Twan Lentjes Creations, Beth Parry and Hattie McGill, whose Instagram accounts illustrate their handiwork.

Other members of the court stand out in patterned fabrics (on Tunji Kasim as Adolphus) and brightly colored gowns with hats (Arsema Thomas as Agatha Danbury).

“It’s so complicated,” Paolo says, describing a process of sample making, initial embroidery, further tailoring and additional hand embellishing before a pattern piece is ever fitted into a garment. Even fabric-covered buttons were embroidered.

The women’s gowns are especially intensive. The earlier dresses, from 1760 onward, required 13 to 20 yards of fabric and at least four weeks of construction; five if they’re heavily embellished. Each ensemble requires petticoats that can add five to 10 more yards each, plus a corset, a pannier (a cage-like underpinning), a padded bum roll, shoes, stockings and garters. The jewelry sets were matched to each costume and included rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and tiara-like hair jewelry that was fitted into fantastical wigs by hair and makeup designer Nic Collins.

With two sets of characters to dress in two different eras, the costume designers were careful to build visual continuity, typically with color. Young Queen Charlotte, for example, keeps to innocent pastels in her early scenes, but her colors grow bolder as her power does too. The designers cannot precisely count the number of costume changes, or quantify the number of pieces they used, only to say “in the thousands.” Paolo says Jeff Jur, director of photography, was on board to capture the spectacle and regularly texted her and Frecon to say, “‘I’m doing a full head-to-toe shot of this one.”

Still, it’s tricky to absorb all of the detail, even though it’s there on the hand-embroidered initials on a man’s handkerchief, or the restored antique jet beading and lace on Queen Charlotte’s mourning gown, or the Easter eggs, as Paolo calls the references she wove into many costumes, particularly those in the final episode, which features an astronomy-themed ball, hosted by the king and queen.

King George loves astronomy, so stars and moons are embroidered and beaded into their clothes. The ball was shot outdoors at night, which usually obscures costume details. Jur expertly lit the scene to illuminate the clothes that were so laden with sparkly bits that they twinkle.

Though the final episode was picked to submit for Emmy consideration, the choice was “brutal,” Paolo said. “It’s a huge group of amazingly talented people who all deserve recognition. If we are lucky enough to win, I would want 220 miniature ones to hand out to everyone.”

Born on this day: true Italian cinema royalty, the exquisite Alida Valli (née Alida Maria Laura Altenburger von Marckenstein-Frauenberg – she was a Baroness! -  31 May 1921 - 22 April 2006), who boasted a spectacular seven-decade career. (Her filmography stretches from 1936 until final role in 2002). Benito Mussolini once called Valli "the most beautiful woman in the world", but don’t hold that against her! At the height of her Continental fame, Hollywood imported her hoping she’d be a “new Garbo” or “new Ingrid Bergman”. Billed simply as “Valli” she featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Paradine Case (1947). More successfully, Valli made an intensely melancholic impression opposite Orson Welles in the British The Third Man (1949). Back in Italy, she collaborated with all the essential art cinema auteurs of the period: Luchino Visconti (Senso (1954)), Michelangelo Antonioni (Il Grido (1957)), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex (1967)), Bernardo Bertolucci (The Spider's Strategem (1970)). Particularly noteworthy: in the eerie French thriller Les yeux sans visage (1959) (aka Eyes without a Face), she is icily inscrutable as the deranged scientist’s lesbianic assistant with the pearl choker and fetishistic wet-look PVC raincoat. But while Valli clearly excelled in the realm of high culture, she was gutsily unafraid to get down-and-dirty in horror and exploitation flicks in the seventies, like Lisa and the Devil (1973) by Mario Bava, Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and nunsploitation shocker Killer Nun (1979) as the Mother Superior! She even cropped up in 1976 disaster movie The Cassandra Crossing, featuring the all-star cast of Sophia Loren, Richard Harris, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner – and OJ Simpson! If you seek out one Valli film, make it the swooning operatic melodrama Senso (pictured) about the doomed love story between an Italian countess (Valli) and an Austrian officer (Farley Granger). It’s impossibly beautiful - just look at the composition of this shot!

Raffaele Riefoli (born 29 September 1959) is an Italian singer-songwriter who is better known as simply Raf.

Self Control" is a song by Italian singer Raf, released in 1984. It was written by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Steve Piccolo and Raf, and arranged by Celso Valli. The track topped the charts in Italy and Switzerland, and started the explosion and dominance of Italo disco-style recordings in continental European charts during the 1980s.

That same year, "Self Control" was covered by American singer Laura Branigan, whose version reached No. 1 in countries such as Austria, Canada, Germany and Switzerland, as well as No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Both versions of the song were commercially successful across Europe during much of the summer of 1984, with Branigan's rendition becoming the most successful single of the year in Germany and Switzerland.

"Self Control" has become one of the defining songs of the 1980s, with a number of remakes recorded each year. Notable covers include Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin in 1993, a dance remake by Branigan in 2004, Royal Gigolos in 2005 and Danish dance group Infernal in 2006.

PHOTOSHOOT: MARINA FOR NYLON MAGAZINE

I mean, you guys. How great does Marina look here? For Marina's ever NYLON cover, she paved her own path and went for a more retro look for the magazine. 

Photography was done by Damon Baker. Styling by Santa Bevacqua and Shawna Ferguson, glam by Ozzy Salvatierra, hair (look at all those adorable pins!) by Fallon Toni Chavez and lastly, nails by Stephanie Stone.

I love how fresh, confident, retro, fit and coiffed up she is here for this spread. 

For the cover look, we got Marina in a Dior Pre-Fall 2015 white, beige, orange & black striped rib stretch woven sweater with turtleneck design.

You know how much I love a good mish-mash of pieces that create one look together.

Her coat and skirt belong to Fall/Winter 2015 collections. The first one is by Holly Fulton and is the Gaze repeat print silk and wool coat with red Mongolian fur collar and cuffs, while the latter hails from the French house of Vionnet and is a plaid maxi skit with electric-blue mohair strips and delicate black lace panels.

Underneath her coat M wears the Fortnight Fall/Winter 2014 Vega demi bra made from their signature chevron jacquard lace!

The third look is from Emilio Pucci's Pre-Fall 2015 lookbook. I could totally see the majority of this collection on Marina for this particular shoot but I'm glad they went with one of my favorite sets!

A striped silk dress with roomy, tunic-like silhouette with lace-up neck in striking shades of magenta, blue and pale grey ($1,520.00 - sold out). Of course, she also rocked the matching flared trousers ($554.00 - sold out).

Throughout the shoot, Marina rocks the Cartier Amulette de Cartier 18k rose-gold band ring with malachite and brilliant-cut diamond of 0.09 carats.

Add one more fun printed ensemble to Marina's spread with NYLON.

This 70s-inspired chevron multi metallic jacquard coat with contrasting black panels ($1,540.00 - sold out) and matching flare pants ($495.00 - sold out) hail from Giambattista Valli's Pre-Fall 2015 lookbook – an ode to 1970s icon Mariana Schiano!

The clever play with prints is truly something to be adored.

For the final look our girl looks more than amazing in this diagonally striped silk jacquard blazer ($2,285.00 - sold out) and culottes pulled straight from Dsquared²'s Pre-Fall 2015 collection!

Underneath, Marina rocked a silk blouse version of DKNY's Laura bandana print flare dress.

Marina injected even more fun into her outfit with the shoe department!

The appropriately named Solar strappy sandals are from Charlotte Olympia. I love the typical Charlotte quirk factor on these stunners!

1900 (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1976) Cast: Robert De Niro, Gérard Depardieu, Donald Sutherland, Dominique Sanda, Laura Betti, Burt Lancaster, Sterling Hayden, Stefania Sandrelli, Alida Valli, Romolo Valli, Paolo Pavesi, Roberto Maccanti. Screenplay: Franco Arcalli, Giuseppe Bertolucci, Bernardo Bertolucci. Cinematography: Vittorio Storaro. Production design: Maria Paola Maino, Gianni Quaranta. Film editing: Franco Arcalli. Music: Ennio Morricone. In his attempt at an epic, Bernardo Bertolucci gives us many new and arresting things, but none perhaps more startling -- and ultimately more fatal to the film -- than Robert De Niro playing a passive weakling. The actor known for such aggressors as young Vito Corleone, for Travis Bickle, Jake LaMotta, even Rupert Pupkin seems crucially miscast as the padrone of an Italian estate who can't bring himself to take sides in the conflict between communists and fascists. The De Niro smirk is still there, but it doesn't seem to fit on the face of Alfredo Berlinghieri, who waffles even when his best friend, his boyhood companion Olmo Dalcò (Gérard Depardieu), is threatened by the fascist overseer Attila Mellanchini, played -- not to say overplayed -- by Donald Sutherland. Bertolucci crafts a relationship between Alfredo and Olmo that goes beyond bromance and somehow persists for a lifetime. They are nominally twins, born on the same day in 1901 as the legitimate son of the landowner and the bastard of a peasant on his estate. The film begins with the end of World War II and the routing of the fascists, then flashes back to their birth and boyhood, skips ahead to the end of World War I, the rise and fall of fascism, and concludes with a coda in which the elderly Alfredo and Olmo are still roughhousing. It's meant to be a capsule version of the 20th century -- the original Italian title, Novecento, means "nineteen hundreds." The film is never unwatchable, but its epic ambitions are undone, I think, by Bertolucci's instinct for melodrama at the expense of characterization. The villains, Attila and his companion Regina (Laura Betti), go so far over the top in their evil-doing -- Attila casually kills a small boy with the same coolness with which he slaughters a cat earlier in the film -- that they become almost comic. It's a striking turn in the wrong direction for the director who earlier gave us a subtly intricate look at the character of a fascist with Jean-Louis Trintignant's performance in The Conformist (1970). There are colorful cameos by Burt Lancaster and Sterling Hayden to be savored, and Vittorio Storaro's cinematography and Ennio Morricone's score help the film immeasurably, but the main impression left by 1900 is of a director who overreached himself.

#FICFest: 11 maggio

Il primo appuntamento della quinta giornata del #FICFest è stato la presentazione del progetto I linguaggi del corpo/oltre le barriere per raccontare l'umanità, tenuto presso Scenario Lab.

Avviato nel 2021 e concluso nel 2023, I linguaggi del corpo, coordinato da Luca Recupero, ha avuto l'obiettivo di dare voce ai giovani attraverso la creatività per favorire l'inclusione e l'integrazione tra sociale. Un binario delle attività ha utilizzato la danza contemporanea, attraverso dei laboratori coordinati da Silvia Oteri e Marta Greco. Il movimento è stato lo strumento comunicativo impiegato, capace di mettere in relazione i corpi e abbattere le barriere linguistiche e culturali. Parallelamente ai diversi laboratori di movimento è stato avviato un corso per videomaker della danza, coordinato da Laura Schillirò e Riccardo Napoli, coinvolgendo numerosi giovani del territorio.

La presentazione è stata aperta da una performance che ha portato in scena le esperienze vissute durante i laboratori che si sono svolti durante i due anni. I protagonisti sono stati gli amatori, uno dei gruppi interni al progetto, che si sono esibiti utilizzando sia il corpo che la voce. Ad aprire l’azione è stato, infatti, il testo recitato da due partecipanti: pensieri ed emozioni che hanno istaurato una connessione intensa con il pubblico.

Come emerso, per gli amatori è stato un viaggio, una scoperta, una liberazione, un nuovo metodo di conoscenza per il proprio corpo e quello degli altri.

Successivamente alla performance, sono stati presentati quattro cortometraggi di videodanza realizzati dai partecipanti del corso di videomaker. Le riprese sono state registrate in diversi luoghi: liceo A. Musco di Librino, Scenario Pubblico, Metropolitana di Catania, Palestra LUPo. I primi due lavori proiettati sono stati concepiti come brevi documentari del progetto stesso e sono stati realizzati durante il primo anno. I secondi, invece, sono stati due cortometraggi di fiction ideati e prodotti durante il secondo anno.

Il progetto I linguaggi del corpo oltre le barriere ha coinvolto il gruppo amatori, il liceo coreutico A. Musco, il liceo Turrisi Colonna, l’associazione Prospettiva, il centro di prima accoglienza ‘Il Nodo’, Save the Children, ‘Penelope’ casa delle donne. Tutti i partecipanti hanno avuto la possibilità di frequentare i laboratori tenuti dai coordinatori e di partecipare a incontri con ospiti tra cui: D Ilenia Romano A Claudia Rossi Valli N Sonia Mingo Z Annalisa Di Lanno A e i danzatori della Compagnia Zappalà Danza, V Lucia Carolina De Rienzo (COORPI), I Enrico Coffetti (CRO.ME), D Marco Longo, E Paolo Favaro, O Nello Calabrò.

A seguire, alle 21.30, nella Black Box è andato in scena Viva la mamma di Gioia Maria Morisco, coreografa, drammaturga ed ex danzatrice della Compagnia Zappalà Danza.

Come si può dedurre dal titolo è stata la maternità il tema principale. Un quadro chiaro che ha rappresentato ogni sfaccettatura della figura materna, miscelando forza, rabbia, felicità e sana follia che contraddistinguono la vita di tutti i giorni della donna-madre.

La danzatrice ha saputo coinvolgere il pubblico, con l'estrema verità dell'azione in termini espressivi e coreografici, con una spontaneità così naturale da abbattere, sin da subito, la parete tra l'interprete e lo spettatore.

Morisco ha installato la situazione-tipo di una mamma occupata a prendersi cura del figlio. I suoi comportamenti sono stati talmente reali da rendere quasi visibile il figlio immaginario. Con ironia, tra pianti e risa, la partitura fisica ha davvero colpito il pubblico immerso in un’atmosfera tragicomica.

L'ironia è stata elemento base di tutta la rappresentazione per designare lo staccamento dallo stereotipo di donna-madre e di presentare, al contrario, quello di un corpo bisognoso, felice e stremato.

Viva la mamma, andando alla ricerca di spazi più nascosti della gravidanza e della maternità, ha indagato ogni possibile peculiarità, dipingendo la solitudine femminile tra disperazione e felicità.

Il #FICFest continua oggi, 12 maggio, con i seguenti appuntamenti:

h. 17 - Lecture (a cura di Toula Limnaios, Ralf R. Ollertz, presso White Box di Scenario Pubblico). h.19 - Female escape (a cura di Collettivo SicilyMade, presso Scenario Lab). h. 20.45 - Magie, trucchi, fanciulle spiritate e altri rimedi contro il malcontento dilagante (a cura di Emanuele Coco, presso Scenario Pubblico).

Launched in 2021 and concluded in 2023, The Languages of the Body, coordinated by Luca Recupero, aimed to give youth a voice through creativity to foster social inclusion and integration. One track of activities used contemporary dance, through workshops coordinated by Silvia Oteri and Marta Greco. Movement was used as the communicative tool, capable of connecting bodies and breaking down language and cultural barriers. Parallel to the various movement workshops, a course for dance “videomakers” was launched, coordinated by Laura Schillirò and Riccardo Napoli, involving numerous young people from the area.

The presentation was opened by a performance that brought to the stage the experiences lived during the workshops that took place during the past two years. The protagonists were  amateurs coming from one of the project group’s, who performed using both body and voice. The opening action was, in fact, the text recited by two participants: thoughts and emotions that established an intense connection with the audience.

As it turned out, for the amateurs it was a journey, a discovery, a liberation, a new method of knowledge for their own bodies as well as the others.

Following the performance, four short video dance films made by the participants of the videomakers course were presented. The projects were recorded in different locations: high school A. Musco in Librino, Scenario Pubblico, Catania Subway, Palestra LUPo. The first two works were presented as short documentaries of the project itself and were made during the first year. The second, on the other hand, were two short fiction films conceived and produced during the second year.

Project The Languages of the Body Beyond Barriers involved the amateur group, A. Musco Choreographic High School, Turrisi Colonna High School, Prospettiva Association, 'Il Nodo' first reception center, Save the Children, 'Penelope' women's home. All participants had the opportunity to attend workshops held by the coordinators and participate in meetings with guests including: 

D Ilenia Romano A Claudia Rossi Valli                                    N Sonia Mingo C Annalisa Di Lanno  E and the dancers of Compagnia Zappalà Danza, 

V Lucia Carolina De Rienzo (COORPI),  I Enrico Coffetti (CRO.ME),  D Marco Longo,  E Paolo Favaro,  O Nello Calabrò.

Moving forward, at 9:30 p.m., we could watch in the Black Box  Viva la mamma by Gioia Maria Morisco, choreographer, playwright and  a former dancer with Compagnia Zappalà Danza.

As can be guessed from the title, motherhood was the main theme. A clear picture portraying every aspect of the mother figure, mixing strength, anger, happiness and healthy madness that mark the everyday life of the woman-mother.

The dancer was able to engage the audience, with the extreme truth of the action in terms of expression and choreography- a spontaneity so natural, that from the very beginning she broke down the wall between performer and spectator.

Morisco presented the typical situation of a busy mother taking care of her child. Her behaviors were so real that the imaginary child was almost visible. With irony, between tears and laughter, the physical score really struck the audience, introducing a tragicomic atmosphere.

Irony was the basic element of the whole performance in order to show the detachment from the stereotype of woman-mother and to present, on the contrary, a body that is needy, happy, but also exhausted.

Viva la mamma investigated the most profound spaces of pregnancy and motherhood, focusing on every possible feature and portraying the female loneliness between despair and happiness.

The #FICFest continues today, on the 9th of May with the following events:

h. 17 - Lecture (presented by Toula Limnaios, Ralf R. Ollertz, in White Box, Scenario Pubblico).

h.19 - Female escape (presented by Collettivo SicilyMade, in Scenario Lab).
