Matthew Price designs wardrobe for Sienna Miller in HBO drama War
Costume designer Matthew Price discussed creating the look for Sienna Miller's character Carla Duval in the new HBO divorce drama War.
Designing a meta character
Price noted that casting an actor like Miller to play a famous fashion plate was considered gold dust. The designer and actress agreed immediately on using French minimalism as a reference point for the wardrobe. They discussed how to avoid being set in stone with one specific silhouette during their initial Zoom call.
Transforming the star
The team aimed to remove any sense of self from Miller while building her into someone else extremely famous. Price had the specific task of transforming the actor to fit the role of Carla Duval. This process involved carefully considering how a British Hollywood star would dress for both red carpets and home life.
