Jonathan Anderson on Dressing Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey in ‘Queer’ and His Friendship With Luca Guadagnino: ‘I Feel Like I’ve Known Him My Entire Life’

"Queer" costume designer Jonathan Anderson talks dressing Daniel Crag and Drew Starkey, working with Luca Guadagnino and his future film plans.

Although expat William Lee ( Daniel Craig) is more free in Mexico City to drink around the clock, shoot heroin and indulge in his gay desires than in America, there still remains a secretive slyness required in expressing his queerness — even in the slovenly cantinas south of the border. The breezy Bode-evoking knitted piece, which Anderson notes emerged in the ’50s as underwear, has a long history in the queer rave scene, and is still a common style on dance floors to this day. With the exception of two identical white suits, every single piece of clothing in the film is entirely original, meaning vintage, deadstock or items actually imported into Mexico during that period.
