Renowned
fashion
designer
and
film
director
Tom
Ford
says
that
he
asked
the
costume
designer
Arianne
Phillips,
not
to
use
any
of
the
clothes
and
costumes
designed
by
him
in
the
movie
Nocturnal
Animals,
even
though
those
costumes
proved
perfect
for
Amy
Adams'
role
as
Susan.
"I
wanted
to
use
Tom's
glasses
(for
Susan),
but
he
was
really
clear
he
didn't
want
the
audience
to
be
taken
out
of
the
film,
that
he
wasn't
making
'a
branded
film'
to
sell
clothes
-
to
his
credit," Phillips
said
in
a
statement.
"You
learn
in
flashbacks
the
complicated
relationship
between
Susan
and
her
mother.
Laura
Linney's
white
suit
was
Chanel,
made
just
for
her.
That
was
the
time
I
said,
'Tom,
I
need
you
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
Karl"
added
Tom
Ford,
who
was
also
the
former
director
of
Gucci.
Meanwhile,
Arianne
says
that,
"Tom
agreed
that
Susan's
mother,
a
conservative
Texas
socialite
with
helmet-head
hair,
would
wear
Chanel,
so
he
reached
out.
That's
the
power
of
Tom
Ford
-
the
perk
is
the
access!"
However,
Susan's
tricolour
fur
costume
was
created
by
Tom
Ford
and
most
of
the
other
costumes
in
the
movie
was
custom-made,
the
costume
designer
Phillips
says
that
none
of
those
dresses
are
likely
held
up
for
Ford's
future
style
collections.
