LONDON -In of the almost 930-year history of the University of Oxford, the institution has opposed a fashion course, but many of their alumni have intentionally or not inspired what is known as “Oxford Look” today.
In most cases, it is a striped tie or argyle sweater that is shown in “Brideshead revisited” or “The Riot Club” – or simply a waxed barbour jacket in Netflix’s new film “My Oxford Year” about Anna de la Vega (Sofia Carson), an American graduate, Corey, Corey, Corey Mylchreest, in the assistant in the assistant in the assistant in the assistant in the guidelines, in the assistant in studying direction in the areas of Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), the assistant in the devices in Jamie (Corey Mylchreest) (Corey Mylchreest).

“The university offers [student] Guides, who have been done and my guide had obviously got up and registered two different colored socks, ”said costume designer Claire Finlay-Thompson in an interview and added that the non-matching look inspired Tom Sethi (Nikhil Parmar).
She hiked through the university city and watched and took notes or photos of the students’ style.
“If you only draw pictures from the Internet or magazines, everything would only look very glossy, and I want to do it real because we tell a story and we want it to have a reality,” she said.
Finlay-Thompson also recorded the romantic drama “Love Story” from 1970 with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal to be inspired in the color and the “mood”, but she didn’t have to travel far to get the “oxford look” just right. She found in the Cotswolds, where Barbour or Fairfax & Favor boots are always in the immediate vicinity.
“Be [Jamie’s] Father is also in a barbour that is part of her [family] Uniform. I wanted him to look wise without having to put him in a suit, so we decided on shirt and hose combinations or sweaters with rolled-up sleeves so that he still looked accessible, ”she said.
The costume designer pursued a generally traditional approach to Jamie’s wardrobe with many British brands, including Sunspel, Holland Cooper and Percival.
“Jamie’s character comes from money, so we have the brands that [reflected that] And I gave him a silver watch with a blue dial-I wanted it to look like a cultural heritage that might belong to his brother or father, ”said Finlay-Thompson.
In many scenes she found pieces from her extensive warehouse, in which she has been collecting fashion items for over two decades.
“I collect pretty versatile things and the students are quite versatile because they cannot really afford fashion like Jamie can,” she said.
Finlay-Thompson gave Charlie Butler (Harry Trevaldwyn), one of the more enthusiastic and eccentrically dressed characters in the poem course, a Burberry trench coat as well as a series of vests and shirts with printing of birds and flowers.
“He sees himself as a poet and is a bit romantic. So he likes to be the idea of being in Oxford with a vest. He obviously loves ‘Bridgerton’ and is a modern version of it with his highly delayed pants from the 1950s and Jeffrey Campbell Boots,” she said.
Kostüving has always come to Finlay-Thompson, who grew up in the late 90s at the Wimbledon School of Art on the Wimbledon School of Art, where she was given the opportunity to give her the opportunity to give her the opportunity to give her the opportunity to give her the opportunity with the “Farrty Python and to free the sacred grail ”.
“I was in a work room where I made animal costumes and large props,” she said.
But Finlay-Thompson’s latest project “Kill Jackie” with Catherine Zeta-Jones takes a dark and glamorous turn of zoos and oxford libraries. The series follows a former dealer who has moved to the art world when they fight the seven demons, a group of elite hit meters who have been commissioned to kill them.
“People will be shocked how funny Catherine is – it is not a comedy, but her performance is incredible and she does everything in a Welsh accent that she has never done in front of the camera,” she said.
The series is produced by Damon Thomas, one of the producers behind “Killing Eva”, and after Paparazzi recordings by Zeta-Jones in sequins and pelzen judgment-a new villanelle comes to the small screen.
