Gucci
has
collaborated
with
costume
designer
Denise
Cronenberg
to
create
the
sleek
and
elegant
silhouette
for
actor
Robert
Pattinson
in
the
new
contemporary
thriller,
“Cosmopolis”.
The
film,
directed
by
David
Cronenberg
and
produced
by
Paulo
Branco
and
Martin
Katz,
will
premiere
at
the
Cannes
Film
Festival
on
May
25th
and
will
be
released
in
theaters
later
this
year.
In
the
film,
Pattinson’s
character
is
dressed
in
one
of
Gucci’s
signature
silhouettes
-
a
black
two
button
notch
lapel
Signoria.
The
impeccably
tailored
suit
is
paired
with
a
fitted
white
cotton
shirt,
slim
black
silk
tie,
leather
belt
with
silver
buckle
detail
and
black
leather
lace
up
dress
shoes.
“We
are
so
pleased
to
work
with
Robert
on
‘Cosmopolis’
and
to
create
an
effortless
and
classic
style
for
his
character,”
said
Gucci
Creative
Director
Frida
Giannini.
Pattinson
plays
a
young
billionaire
asset
manager,
Eric
Packer,
on
a
twenty-four
hour
odyssey
across
Manhattan.
Despite
traffic
jams
and
a
looming
financial
disaster,
Packer
(Pattinson)
risks
travelling
cross-town
in
his
stretch
limousine
for
a
haircut.
During
delays
including
a
presidential
motorcade,
a
celebrity
funeral,
and
political
protests,
Eric
receives
visitors,
both
for
business
and
pleasure,
in
his
opulent,
high-tech
automobile.
As
the
encounters
and
the
economic
crisis
intensify,
Packer
cynically
gambles
with
his
clients’
fortunes
and
his
own.
Toronto
based
Cronenberg
is
known
for
costume
design
work
in
films
including
Crash,
The
Incredible
Hunk
and
A
Dangerous
Method.
Gucci
was
pleased
to
collaborate
with
Cronenberg
for
this
film.
"The
concept
I
had
in
mind
for
Rob's
character
was
decided
as
I
read
the
script.
It
would
require
an
elegant,
expensive
suit,
white
shirt
and
slim
tie.
Rob
wore
the
collection
head
to
toe
-
I
could
not
have
accomplished
this
look
without
the
help
of
Gucci,”
said
Cronenberg.
