Stylist JohnnyWujek filled us in on creating the sweet, candy-inspired costumes for Katy Perry’s iconic music video in 2010.
, the pop star is entering a new era — and an entirely different aesthetic is sure to come with it. Though, we're hoping that she stays true to her penchant for kitschy get-ups, a wardrobe choice that Perry has been pulling off for a decade.
"Back then, her style was very vintage-inspired, colorful, and fun," her longtime stylist Johnny Wujek tells NYLON over the phone from Los Angeles. "She was younger and we were just silly. We're still silly, but it was sillier with the kitschy stuff." "California Gurls" could have easily been a sunny montage of beaches and palm trees, but instead, Perry took inspiration from the board game Candyland and American painter Will Cotton, who served as the video's artistic director and who created the art for her 2010 album. The video's premise takes place within the world of "Candyfornia," where Perry tries to save the Queens who are held captive by the Sugar Daddy and his army of Gummy Bears.
"We had to figure out a way to defeat the Gummy Bears and Katy was like, 'What if my bra shot out Cool Whip and killed them all?'" recalls Wujek. "I literally had no idea how to even make that. But I said, 'Yeah, we can do that. We can make that happen.' And that was just a process. I got to work with really cool special effects people to make that happen."
The video's theme served up plenty of inspiration for Wujek, who spent most of his time Googling and buying different types of candy to find ways to recreate them into clothing. The first look on Perry is a mini-dress made from a sparkling hodgepodge of sweet treats, designed by New York duo The Blonds, who produced plenty of performance and red carpet looks throughout herera.
