Captain Fantastic: A Fashion Goldmine Overlooked by the Industry

The 2016 film 'Captain Fantastic', directed by Matt Ross and starring Viggo Mortensen, is praised for its modern visual aesthetic, particularly the costumes and styling of the characters. The article argues that fashion designers, currently lacking inspiration, could find abundant ideas in the film's wardrobe, which includes ethnic jewelry, tricot knits, patched denim, toy-like jumpsuits, and technical gear. It contrasts this with Tom Ford's 'Nocturnal Animals', suggesting the fashion press has overlooked Ross's film. The piece also highlights a scene where Mortensen's character imparts a respectful vision of womanhood to his son, played by George MacKay, noting the elegance of the dialogue. The article is published on Artribune, an Italian art and culture magazine, and includes promotional sections for their newsletters on art market, urban regeneration, and cultural tourism.
