Leaving aside the stellar cast and the sumptuous Italian landscapes, the true stars of the new Epic of Ridley Scott's haute couture, House of Gucci, are, as expected, the garments.From the multiple turns of Lady Gaga with Saint Laurent skirt costumes with a neckline to two pieces of Norfolk elephant cord of Jared Leto in confit tones of magenta and cobalt, the woman behind the magic is the famous costume designer Janty Yates, by Gladiator, American Gangster and The Martian.

"Working at the House of Gucci (Adam Driver and Lady Gaga'sThe angels went to Lady Gaga's house four times, Al Pacino's three times. I did everything with zoom and I felt very baffled, but it was quite fascinating when everyone came and we were under the same roof in a bubble. "

"It was a huge, incredible experience, and every day it was great, crazyfamous world, and work with Ridley Scott. What a fantastic luck I have! "

House of Gucci arrives at theaters this week and, as an advance, GQ has asked Yates to choose his favorite male looks from which, without a doubt, he will go down in history as the fashion film of the century.

Paolo Gucci's pink cord suit

"We made the Atollini brothers do something like 12 suits and jackets for Jared Leto, that it is unrecognizable as Paolo Gucci in the movie. They were all very, in their words, 'Dandy Dandy'. The Atollini brothers made all the costumes for the2013 film by Paolo Sorrentino, the great beauty, which is one of the most wonderfully made movies I have seen. The problem was that we had to wait for the costumes to arrive, because the brothers do everything by hand in Naples, soI asked at the cost of art to do a couple for while Jared could carry before. I asked for a Norfolk jacket of pink elephant cord, which ended up taking a lot of prominence. So it is actually a suit designed by me! "

Paolo Gucci's blue picture suit

"We were very extra with Jared's costume. His character, PaolIt is "the dandy of the dandys", so we opt for the horizontal stripes, the stripes, the large ties and the huge paintings. The blue picture suit when it makes its parade is a good example of how exaggerated we were. "

Rodolfo Gucci's handkerchief

"Basically, all the Gucci, apart from Paolo, sent their costumes in Savile Row (although Paolo was probably there). The suit that Jeremy Irons carries here, in the role of Rodolfo Gucci, is cut in pale lemon yellow velvet.He was divine. We found the suede vest with the acronym GG - what was a miracle - in a costume house. Jeremy loves scarves. He always carries a scarf, no matter what happens. He came to ask me '¿¿¿¿¿¿Do you think my character would wear a scarf in this scene? 'He has a long neck and feels the cold, I imagine. The handkerchief was a bit of both, a little scarf and a little tie. A midpoint. "

The skiing look of Maurizio Gucci

"This was the first photo that was published from our session, and the response was extraordinary. The arran sweateWe tried Adam Driver, who plays MaurizIt will roller around his waist and the sweater wish.

"Ridley also said that he wanted both Maurizio and Paola Franchi (the woman for whom Maurizio ends up leaving Patrizia) were white when they crossed on the slopes. The idea was to see and said" Oh, you are also going fromWhite! ", A kind of breakwells, and that Patrizia will arrive in red. It makes me laugh the way she walks with her boots, it is simply fabulous, very fun."Lady Gaga, who plays Patrizia, also has a black jacket from Gucci with golden buttons in this photo. "

Aldo Gucci's wide flap costumes

"It was very difficult to avoid referring to the films that have starred in Pacino when he was planning the costumes for House of Gucci, because everything in culture is related to something he has done. But Ridley made a drawing of Aldo Gucci, the characterAl al, walking down the street with a jacket that did not match his pants or his shirt or his vest, but with an elegant and very well -joint appearance, not intentional but intentional. I liked that reference.

"Sometimes Aldo Gucci wore glasAh with large paintings or large stripes, and I brought them together to highlight. Aldo Gucci really measureBetter than we could. My tailor Lena Lenail fell ill in the middle of the preparation of Adam and Al costumes, so I recruited Ermenegildo Zegna to help me, and did a wonderful job. "

Maurizio Gucci's murder suit

“This look was really an idea of Ridley, and the bicycle clips that Maurizo carries were also essential.By the way, in Italy they have very strange ideas about bicycle clips.They are not achieved there.Ridley wanted Adam to crouch when the shooter came for him, as if he were taking off the bicycle tweezers and was somewhat helpless. ”House of Gucci tells the true story of the murder of Maurizio Gucci.

"We sent eight shirts, jackets and pants for the murder scene, although we probably don't use more than two, one with the blood and one without it. Everything had to be repeated, which was a bit annoying. Len Len Lenail made Adam 25costumes and about ten jackets and Zegna made ten costumes and five jackets. He had 44 appearances on screen, I think, so he had many costumes. "

Maurizio Gucci's sartorial trip

"There is a very soft arch in Maurizio's style over his 20 years on the screen. We started with him carrying sweaters of Isle Fair with a Mackintosh and a Blazer, more student. Then we made it more sophisticated with gray or blue suitsof double button. Then, towards the end, I forced Adam to wear velvet costumes. For the photo shoot with Richard Avedon he wore a black or purple suit, and when he met with Anna Wintour wearing a velvet suit. We tried to seemthat the money was spent on clothes. Obviously he was a man who spent money on Savile Row's suits. The arch was trying to keep him very conservative. "
