The decade gets a rose-colored perspective with Don’t Worry Darling , taking a more opulent and luxurious lens to the Golden Age in America, while Living takes on 1950s London, showing a more restrained aesthetic and color palette than its American counterparts. Till Based on a true story in 1955, Chinonye Chukwu’s Till follows the life of civil rights activist Mamie Till-Mobley after the brutal lynching of her teenage son Emmett Till. While Till Mobley’s journey starts in her Chicago home, the bulk of the work for production designer Curt Beech was to recreate areas in Mississippi that were key to the Emmett Till case. “The news reels that showed the town were really valuable,” says … [Read more...] about ‘Till’, ‘Don’t Worry Darling‘ and ’Living’ Production Designers On Recreating A Bygone Era

Sources connected to the controversial photo shoot tell TMZ ... the agency, North Six, has worked with Balenciaga in the past, but wielded no creative power on this particular photoshoot.
