On Sunday, Sandy Powell will make record when she is handed the BAFTA Fellowship. Awarded for exceptional contribution to film, the arts charity’s greatest honour has never ever in advance of been presented to a costume designer. Born in Brixton, 62-calendar year-old Powell has worked with every person from Sally Potter to Scorcese, Derek Jarman to Todd Haynes (Carol is one of the most visually gorgeous films). Owning been nominated for equally the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for Best Costume Style 15 situations, she is the most nominated costume designer in historical past, right after Edith Head. Let us hope she has time for a spot of mantlescaping next 7 days, to make room alongside her 3 Oscars for the BAFTA Fellowship award.
As well as all the large-ranking administrators, the Oscar-successful costume designer has collaborated with some of the greatest names in the acting world, which include: Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Ralph Fiennes, Julianne Moore, Janelle Monáe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Olivia Colman, Colin Firth and Bill Nighy. Phew. And been lucky ample to be invited onto the That’s Not My Age podcast. I loved talking about her occupation and philanthropic perform – the podcast was recorded in 2020 when Powell was raising resources for Prospect Cottage and the charity Refuge. It was touch and go for a time, as she’s in constant desire and perennially chaotic but I was seriously impressed by Sandy Powell’s professionalism and willingness to get the job done around her schedule to make the podcast materialize. At just one issue she even supplied to appear round to That’s Not My Age Mansions just after a gown fitting with Olivia Coleman…
Tremendous-awesome Sandy Powell
On becoming nominated for the BAFTA Fellowship, Powell mentioned, ‘I am vastly flattered to receive the BAFTA Fellowship and particularly proud to be the initial Costume Designer. I am blessed in that I like what I do and have been particularly fortuitous to have collaborated with some of the most talented and inspirational persons in the industry the two guiding and in entrance of the digicam. I appear forward to lots of far more decades to come.’
Sharing the podcast yet again, in case you skipped it the very first time spherical.
