fallenvictory:“For me, Detroit is a true activist of her own making. Her art speaks to her both in form as well as her clothing. What I really wanted was for her clothing to be her whole business card. She is definitely a strong female, very self-aware, not willing to sell out by any means necessary to obtain the level of success that Cassius was seeking. She’s her version of a made woman.” - Deirdre Govan, Sorry to Bother You’s costume designerGovan drew from a range of sources—political movements of the past and present, ‘80s and ‘90s New York City, Afro-futurism and Afro-punk—to create the wardrobe for Sorry to Bother You, scouring vintage shops and working with artists in Oakland, California (where the movie takes place), to source the pieces featured onscreen. Tessa Thompson also had a hand in crafting Detroit’s wardrobe, contributing her “The Future Is Female Ejaculation” T-shirt to the production, after she picked it up during a press trip in New York City. Govan was thrilled with Thompson’s find: “I was very keen on using [the shirt] because it was a statement. It was just like, wow, OK, this woman has something to say. She’s using every layer, every piece of clothing, to articulate her statement loud and clear.” -- source link
