'It was a challenge for me to create a design that would inspire a new kind of reaction.'
, found the experience honorable and inspiring."It blew my mind that I would even have the opportunity to approach designingTazewell told POPSUGAR."Because it's so beloved, the musical as a broadway, and then the 1961 film, pressure was a great understatement. It was a challenge for me to create a design that would inspire a new kind of reaction.
Irene Sharaff, the costume designer for the original 1957 Broadway production created iconic looks that are in our collective psyche. And I wanted to create that same kind of iconic look but with a new vision." The goal of the new vision was to recognize the years that have transpired since it was originally conceived and to support Spielberg's specific storytelling in this version.
For the Sharks, Tazewell focused on dressing the gang in the best clothes in their wardrobes."The Sharks migrated from Puerto Rico, looking to recreate their lives and make life new," he shared."They were people who were holding jobs, creating families and their lifestyles were somewhat formal because of their connection to the Catholic church.
Of highest importance, Tazewell was tasked to make clothing that would move in a way that would do the show'sjustice."With this production, because it's a musical full of singing and dancing, we ended up custom-making a significant amount of clothing so that the clothing could move in a certain way that the choreography was dictating. It was a really specific ask and things that we wouldn't necessarily be able to find in rental houses.
