uptownhags: Ambitious yet slightly apprehensive about the future, sweet Eilis Lacey (played by Saoirse Ronan) could be any American girl in 2015. But she’s not. As the central character in Brooklyn – which takes place in 1951, and arrives in theaters Nov. 4 – Eilis migrates solo from her native Ireland to New York’s most populated borough, where she eventually falls love with Tony (Emory Cohen), finds work at a posh department store and earns straight A’s at accounting school. As Eilis transitions from a shy Irish girl to a confident American woman, she gradually trades her bulky Irish woolens for a wardrobe of U.S.-made sweaters, pretty dresses, and full, flirty skirts. “There are certain period productions that are very stylized, but we were going for a natural journey with Saoirse’s character where the clothes were there but they didn’t distract you as much as gave you an overall experience,” explains costume designer Odile Dicks-Mireaux. “Everything came from that era, and looks like real people wore them,” adds Ronan. – Go Behind the Scenes of Saoirse Ronan’s Brooklyn Transformation -- source link
