Glam Queen

Article from Harper's Bazaar Dec. 1998 By Jennifer Jackson & Andrea Linett
Costume designer, Sandy Powell

If glam-rock fashion really does have a resurgenece, you can blame it on costume designer Sandy Powell. This 38-year-old Brit is responsible for the glam extravaganza Velvet Goldmine.  "The early '70s were an influential period of my life," she says.  "I remember desperately wanting to have those clothes.

With Goldmine I got to design all the things I've always wanted." Powell, whose other costume credits include Orlando, The Crying Game, Interview With the Vampire and the upcoming Shakespeare in Love, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Judi Dench, is something of a clotheshorse herself. "My favorite designers are Galliano and Gaultier, because they're so theatrical," she says.  "I wear a lot of Gaultier and Dirk Bikkembergs." Does she get influenced by her films? "I had that glam-rock thing going when we were shooting," she admits. Now she's over it. Time for the rest of us to catch up!
