Costume Remix #25: Get On Up (2014)

Get On Up follows James Brown’s meteoric rise from poverty to super stardom. He is the poster child for pulling one’s self up by their own boot straps. I have always been in awe of his costume choices throughout his life and thought the costumes that Sharen Davis created for the film were beautiful. And I considered remixing one of his jumpsuits. But after rewatching this film for the umpteenth time, I decided to take a stab at one of Little James’ costumes, his brown overalls.

Costume Remix #24: Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)

I love Denzel Washington. I love Walter Mosley. I love Sharen Davis. I love Easy Rawlins. Ergo I love Devil in a Blue Dress. I think the choices that Sharen made when dressing this 1940s vet turned private dick, were brilliant. My favorite piece is not the blue dress that Daphne wears, although it’s beautiful. No, my favorite piece is Easy’s gaberdine zip up jacket.
