Respect costume designer, Clint Ramos, on recreating Aretha Franklin's iconic looks on Jennifer Hudson | SCADdotedu Savannah Film Festival
In order to transform Jennifer Hudson into Aretha Franklin for Liesl Tommy’s music biopic “Respect,” costume designer Clint Ramos researched both the late star and her culture.
“I had to sort of conjure up what she would have looked like as a child, what her family would have looked like,” Ramos told‘s Jazz Tangcay during a Q&A at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. “I did a lot of research looking at the church photographs in Black churches and looking at archives, and looking at what those inhabitants of that particular world would look like.”
To imagine those looks, Ramos studied Black culture and the style of the era. “African Americans are independent dressers,” Ramos said. “What would have been the mode of dress for white folks during that time — that was prevalent in all the fashion magazines — would not have been applied to African Americans.”
Ramos also wanted to make sure the designs were flattering for Hudson, who had a different body type. Ramos said Hudson wanted to be involved in the design process, which was fully collaborative. “She wanted to understand the source of each costume,” Ramos said. “She was so intelligent with trying to understand the choices. She was completely ego-less about the way she was getting dressed.”He also broke down the craftsmanship behind the famous Amsterdam dress featured on the film’s poster. The dress, which weighed over 40 pounds, was handmade with champagne pearls and Swarovski crystals.
