How ‘Asteroid City’ Production Designer Creates the Worlds of Wes Anderson | Vanity Fair

Published

1 year ago

June 16, 2023

Production designer Adam Stockhausen shows us how he brings sets to life for Wes Anderson’s iconic films like ‘The Budapest Hotel,’ ‘The French Dispatch’ and ‘Asteroid City.’ How do you get the retro look and feel of the Luncheonette scene? How do you portray depth and richness in each shot? How can you make sets “float” for the insides to be seen and be as light as possible? From ample research to gather all the intricate details to physically bringing the sets to life, Adam takes us through his genius process of production design.

Asteroid City premieres June 16th

It seems increasingly that Anderson’s films are just well designed/produced sets and very little else. Walked out of The French Dispatch. No story, emotional depth, stiff acting. Zero interest.

It’s funny how even the sketches are symmetrical.

It’s all beautiful and there is a level of control & thought that very much reminds me of how Kubrick worked. My gut feeling is Asteroid City is going to clean up at the Oscars.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
