![]() ![]() When you discuss these things with Matthew and you develop these characters, we want to make sure that we can see some leg. So, one of the things we tried to do with her was cover her up as much as possible. ![]() She feels terribly insecure and self-conscious about turning blue and naked all of the time. She can't always control her transformation. "The thing with Jennifer, her character, the first time you see her she's a child and she's trying to hide herself pretending to be Charles' mother. ![]() Raven Darkholme / Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) But it's such a caricatured character you can kind of push the boundaries there a bit more. You know, that mid-'60s sexy type of skirt. Hers were very Emma Peel from The Avengers. With the women, we did move the look a little bit toward '65. So one of the things we decided very early on is that we weren't going to be absolutely period correct and make the film look like it's a documentary styled film about 1962. Matthew wanted fantastic tailoring, but, with the women, he didn't like the 1962 look. #X MEN FIRST CLASS LICENSE#She's also a character that you can have artistic license with and push it into the future slightly. On the boat it's a white laced dress that is more mid-1960s, to be quite frank. In the very first scene you see her in, crystal underwear. She's usually wearing something very sparkly. Some of the stuff that I really wanted to try and get as close to the looks that were there, but obviously once you turn those into three dimensions on the body they don't work-we had to make it more practical. We actually did, surprisingly, cover her up more than what is in the comic books but there's only so far that you can go. If you look at all of the references in the comic books, she's always, always dressed in white-and usually very little clothing. "Of all of the characters, she's the most comic book. We wanted to keep it away from the very, very black and white, which we used for other characters." We kept him in that range, nothing black. Color-wise with him we kept it very monochrome-a lot of gray and pale blue whites and blues. We tried to be as faithful as we could, where we could pull those ideas so you could see the characters had gone on a journey, if that makes sense. One of them, a double-breasted one, is very similar to his double-breasted suit in X-Men 2. You might notice that he's not always in a three-piece suit, but there's always a waistcoat underneath or it's always three pieces. We kind of tried to do this three-piece thing because he's often scene in a three-piece suit. So he had one favorite jacket, which is the grey jacket that you see in a lot of the publicity stills-it's a single-breasted fall jacket-that he obviously really liked to wear and it looked great on him. With the professor, we had a wardrobe that we interchanged throughout. In one sense, I wanted him to not look like he cared too much about fashion and, yet, keep it within the realms of the fashionable part of '60s that we were trying to portray. So his clothing kind of needed to reflect his human side, in a way. I suppose he's the least caricatured of all of them-he's the voice of reason. Of all of the characters, he's the most realistic in one sense because he's the grounded, studious professor. Matthew Vaughn was very keen on the way that Steve McQueen dresses in that because he has very particular tailoring in that-which actually is not right for the period in this film." The other film we referenced for Magneto and Charles Xavier, was The Thomas Crown Affair. And we looked at how Bond uses clothing in each situation and it's always absolutely perfect for the day or the evening or whatever. No and bits and pieces of Thunderball and Goldfinger. We did a lot of research into images of things in Dr. When you look at the early Bond films, you've got those short-sleeve, fine knitted '60s tops and a pair of trousers, but they just look fantastic. If he weren't in a suit, he'd be in a polar neck or that kind of Jack Kerouac kind of easy clothing. Money is no object whatever he needs, he gets. He has the perfect outfit for every situation. "This character is a joy to dress because he's James Bond, in one sense. Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto (Michael Fassbender) ![]()
