Janty Yates gives Raven Smith a rundown of Lady Gaga’s looks in the new “House of Gucci” film—and a makeover too.
‘Good Morning Vogue’ Enters the House of Gucci With Costume Designer Janty Yates
In the name of the father, the son, and the house of Gucci, Good Morning Vogue is getting an exclusive look into the world of House of Gucci costume designer Janty Yates. Raven Smith met up with Yates in London to discuss costuming Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, and more in the anticipated new film by Ridley Scott.
Inside London’s Gore Hotel, Yates describes the Gucci look of the film’s period, designed by the late Maurizio Gucci, as “round and brown.” “Tom Ford came and cut a swath through that!” she says. While Gaga does wear archival Gucci pieces in the film, Yates looked to vintage dealers and archive houses for many of the buzzed-about outfits and added heaps of accessories to Gaga’s looks. “She had 54 script days,” Yates says, “and she never repeated a look, not even an earring.”
Out of the Ordinary vintage—formerly William Vintage—provided many looks for the film, helping Yates realize Gaga’s numerous outfits with historical accuracy. Vintage dealer Calum Blyth gives Smith and Yates a tour of the archive, and Smith even gets a Gucci-worthy makeover from the Oscar-winning costume designer. Watch it all unfold in episode four of Good Morning Vogue.
