Noted discourse courter Emerald Fennell’s latest movie Wuthering Heights has certainly been a very hot topic for, well, ages now. It’s drawn ire for plenty of things, from Heathcliff’s casting to the historical inaccuracies of the costumes.
Is some of the critique warranted? Yes, I think so. But when it comes to the wardrobe choices, to paraphrase the great Jemima Kirke: I think you guys might be thinking about historical accuracy too much.
Fennell isn’t the first person to take creative liberties with the garments in their films, and she certainly won’t be the last.
When a wardrobe is this beautiful, I simply haven’t got the heart to care about things like which types of fabric were invented when.
It’s like Kate Hawley, a costume designer who’s been nominated for an Oscar for her work on Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, told Dazed last year: “I like breaking the rules because it’s all about the story that we’re telling. We’re in a dream of the period, it’s its own world.”
If you’ve been inspired by Fennell’s dream of Wuthering Heights (or even just the press tour looks) here are some of the most wuthering-esque bits we could find on the high street right now.
