Inspiration Behind the Costumes
“The first image in my head was a giant beating heart muscle, throbbing and pulsing with blood,” said Malgosia Turzanska, the costume designer for Hamnet. This visceral vision profoundly influenced the red tones used in Jessie Buckley’s costumes.
Materials and Visual Effects
Turzanska drew inspiration from organic textures such as dried scabs and menstrual blood to develop the layered reds that convey rawness and emotional intensity. The colors reflect the organic process of life and loss, embodying the emotional core of the film’s themes.
Crafting the Look
The textiles were carefully chosen and treated to mimic these natural elements, creating costumes that feel both realistic and symbolic. The distressing techniques enhanced the tactile authenticity, making the garments appear alive and saturated with deep personal history.
“The reds were not simply red — they carried the story of pain, life, and regeneration,” Turzanska noted, emphasizing the emotional weight the palette brings to the storytelling.
This approach to costume design in Hamnet shows how deeply natural and biological inspiration can transform visual storytelling, making fabric a powerful emotional symbol.
