\n\tThe fashion-forward look of Netflix<\/a>\u2019s KPop Demon Hunters<\/a> required what Sony Pictures Imageworks<\/a> says was a first-of-its-kind approach to animated costuming, with each of the main characters having a huge wardrobe.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix\u2019s animated film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation and won two Oscars<\/a>. It has been a massive streaming hit for Netflix. At Web Summit<\/a> Vancouver, the crowd got insight into the movie\u2019s fashion secrets.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s obviously a K-pop movie, and K-pop bands are very fashionable,\u201d said Jacky Priddle, Senior Producer at Sony Imageworks, the VFX and animation division of Sony Pictures. \u201cTo accomplish this look, we did something that I don\u2019t think has ever been done in any other animated movie; creating 20 different outfits per girl and a few more for the boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe result was a mix-and-match wardrobe that yielded a huge number of outfit possibilities. \u201cWe ended up having 75 possible combinations of outfits for each girl, which I think is some sort of a record. In animated movies, you see the character always wearing the same outfit because it\u2019s very tricky to create them. But we decided, no, we need to invest in this part, and it needs to be very fashion forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKPop Demon Hunters has become Netflix\u2019s most popular film ever. In the second half of last year, the movie racked up 482 million views. Earlier this week Netflix and AEG Presents announced they are teaming to bring K-pop Demon Hunters fans a live experience<\/a> with a world tour.<\/p>\n

\n\tPriddle explained that the outfits were key to bringing the vision of directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans to the screen. \u201cWhen we first met, Maggie said, this is about the girls, this is about fashion. She wasn\u2019t so aware of the surroundings, the environment. It was more that these girls have to be top of their game. No-one wears the same outfit twice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite the elaborate wardrobes, the filmmakers also wanted the characters to feel grounded, balancing glamour with more everyday moments.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey can be glamorous, but they can also be like, hey, without makeup, in their pajamas,\u201d Priddle said. \u201cWe really were following what the directors were wanting to do about the portrayal of women. Especially our director, Maggie, she was very adamant about women not being these kind of dainty princesses. We\u2019d show one of the girls without their makeup on and she\u2019d be saying, \u2018Make them more tired.\u2019 Usually it\u2019s more like, \u2018No, you\u2019ve gone too far.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tExpect more outfits in the next KPop Demon Hunters movie. Netflix has confirmed a sequel<\/a>, with Kang and Appelhans returning to direct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fashion-forward look of Netflix\u2019s KPop Demon Hunters required what Sony Pictures Imageworks says was a first-of-its-kind approach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[18,117,19,17,4923,327,127,211913,96534],"class_list":{"0":"post-484616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-kpop-demon-hunters","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-netflix","15":"tag-sony-pictures-imageworks","16":"tag-web-summit"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116574015131147006","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
