Not knowing a lot about Art Direction I thought the best place to start would be by having a look at what films have won Academy Awards for their Art Design or as it's now classed, Best Production Design.
The consecutive winners for the past five years have been:
(2007) Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: Dante Ferretti
(2008) The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button: Donald Graham Burt
(2009) Avatar: Rick Carter and Robert Stormberg
(2010) Alice In Wonderland: Robert Stromberg
(2011) Hugo: Dante Ferretti
As you can see a few of the names have cropped up more than once and as I think back to these films they have been Art Director on, I can remember specific elements of clothing or location that stood out to me.
Such as Sweeny Todd's Hair and Jacket, as well as the grey scale that was present throughout
Alice's Dress, hair and pale façade in Alice in wonderland etc.
I think it is therefore important for me to pick an element of clothing perhaps for my character to really try and make stand out and become iconic to the audience.
