The Opulent Clothing of ‘Opus’: Costume Designer Shirley Kurata on Ayo Edebiri’s ‘Black Ivy’ Style, Studying Cults and the Pop Stars on Her Moretti Mood Board
Opus costume designer Shirley Kurata breaks down Ayo Edibiri and John Malkovich's best ensembles, and where to buy the best standout pieces online.
The first scene of “ Opus,” A24 ‘s newest horror-thriller satirizing the media industry and pop culture fandom, opens in a drab, grey conference room as a group of writers at a Rolling Stone-esque music publication pitch their ideas. Ariel’s outfit in this scene — a sweater vest from the “cool kid” Lower East Side-based brand Bode, alongside Urban Outfitters trousers and classic loafers — is important because it’s our first introduction to our heroine who, as reflected in her clothing, isn’t afraid to stand out. The visual feast really begins when Ariel and Stan embark on their journey to Moretti’s compound, where he makes a surprise reappearance after a three-year absence from the public eye, and debuts a long-awaited album to a lucky few invitees and his cult-like followers (before the film takes a much more menacing turn, of course).
