The costumes for the black and white movie directed by Michel Hazanavicius were created by American designer Mark Bridges. One of the important details in this movie was contrast. Knowing that the movie would be black and white, the designer had to play with vivid black and white colors to get the desired contrast between costumes. It was also revealed that the costumes were created in black and white as well as in color because “there was always the chance that the film would be seen in color,” as shared the designer in one of his interviews.
