| MARIE ANTOINETTE 2006 For Coppola, the costumes were a central part. She selected Milena Canonero because she is a designer who has both an historical understanding of 18th Century styles – and the creativity to give the costumes a distinctly modern flair. “Sofia is a bit like me in that she is most interested in the feelings that a costume gives to the audience,” says Milena Canonero. “So some of our work in >Marie Antoinette< is symbolic, some of it is stylish and some of it is psychological. There is always a reason for a particular texture or color.” more film >>> Marie Antoinette (KIRSTEN DUNST) playing
