<\/p>\nShe’s dressed James Bond and Harry Potter.\u00a0 She’s dusted off the cobwebs of the golden age of Hollywood and an aging Gloria Grahame, and she helped make us fall in love with ugly “jumpers”\u00a0 and wet rayon dresses on a girl named Bridget Jones.\u00a0 \u00a0But now, costume designer JANY TEMIME is the talk of the town as she designs and recreates some icon looks for the world’s greatest entertainer, Judy Garland, and JUDY.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Set in winter 1968, JUDY focuses on the six-week time period when Judy Garland went to London for a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town.\u00a0 A tumultuous and pivotal period, Judy is at probably one of the lowest points of her life.\u00a0 She is no longer the fresh-faced Judy Garland skipping down the yellow brick road.\u00a0 She is fragile and battle weary.\u00a0 Time and life have taken its toll.\u00a0 She is broke.\u00a0 She has no place to live, nowhere to go.\u00a0 Ex-husband Sid Luft wants custody of their children Joey and Lorna.\u00a0 And because of her own personal demons of drugs and alcohol and unreliability, no one will hire her.\u00a0 Forced to leave her children with Sid, Judy takes the one gig offered to her with The Talk of the Town.\u00a0 She electrifies.\u00a0 She shows herself to be the Judy Garland of old when on stage and under the bright lights.\u00a0 She is larger than life. And she finds love with Mickey Deans, a man 25-years her junior.<\/p>\n
While Renee Zellweger is flawless in her transformation as Judy Garland, much of that transformation relies on capturing Judy’s iconic looks and silhouette through costume which is where all eyes are on JANY TEMIME.\u00a0 Designing costumes that embrace the many facets of Judy Garland, Temime is on point with cut, color, fabric, and style be it a 1939 or 1968 Judy.\u00a0 Each look speaks to emotional moments in time that help define Judy Garland the entertainer, the mother, the star, the giddy girl in love, the woman.\u00a0 \u00a0And in addition to costuming Zellweger as Judy Garland, it also falls to Temime to capture the overall Carnaby Street experience and most notably in designing for Finn Wittrock’s Mickey Deans, while going back in time to 1939 Hollywood and a dapper Mickey Rooney and imposing Louis B. Mayer.<\/p>\n
During this exclusive conversation with JANY TEMIME talking about capturing the many facets of Judy Garland through costume for JUDY, her candor and humor shine while her passion for her craft and this particular project is palpable.\u00a0 Her own love and admiration for Judy Garland is not only woven into every stitch of costume we see on screen, but within her enthusiasm as she speaks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations on impeccable, flawless work with JUDY.<\/strong><\/p>\n Oh, thank you. This is so nice. It’s really nice what you said.<\/p>\n I have so long admired your work, Jany. You’ve gotten to dress James Bond.\u00a0 You’ve done Harry Potter. You’ve designed for some of the biggest name characters in cinematic history and now you get the cream of the crop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yeah, Judy Garland. The biggest of all!<\/p>\n Just fabulous, Jany.\u00a0 Fabulous.\u00a0 For me, watching this film is really walking down memory lane.<\/strong><\/p>\n Really? You were also a fan? You’re also a fan of Judy Garland?<\/p>\n A huge fan, huge.\u00a0 When I was a little girl in the ’60s my father would come and get me out of bed at night and bring me downstairs just to watch her performing on late night shows.<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, so you are like me! I love her so much! What did you think when you looked at the film? Were you happy? Did you think that we all know her memory or what was your thought?<\/p>\n Overjoyed, Jany, overjoyed.<\/strong><\/p>\n Okay, well that’s wonderful, that’s wonderful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’d say 90% of it, it’s a combination of Renee with the hair and makeup but the clothing, your costuming, is key because so much about portraying Judy Garland is the silhouette, the iconic silhouette.<\/strong><\/p>\n But that was Renee. You know, she had that posture. She took that posture, with the shoulder rounded and the stomach inside, what you get when you are not eating, and that’s the body that she created herself, the posture that she created herself, and we build up all the costume around that.<\/p>\n And that’s what I found so striking because typically when you have a very petite body like Judy Garland and with that spinal curvature and shoulder stoop, the clothing does not fit, but all of this clothing fit so well.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ah, this was a miracle of tailoring!\u00a0 I was really so afraid that she would stand up and one day forget that posture and just stand straight.\u00a0 All the dresses would fall apart!\u00a0 I was so happy that she’s such a method actress. The minute she was putting the dress on, the minute she was coming on, immediately she had that posture and she was Judy Garland. She was thinking Judy Garland.\u00a0 But I think also that for her and for me it was a total admiration that we had for the character. We love Judy Garland for what she is as a woman. I mean, what an example of somebody who had always been fighting against adversity, always wanting, loving life, going for it. I mean besides the fact that she was an amazing singer, an amazing actress, amazing dancer, for her personality, you know? Sometimes she would never give up through the rest of her life. Getting married to this guy because it was a new hope. I think it’s such a human example and I really love her for that, for being such an incredible woman.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/jany-temime.jpg\")
