"Beth's style in New York is influenced by the New York music scene and the Andy Warhol factory. We took influence from Edie Sedgwick, because Warhol adored her freedom in style."

"Beth's looks grow more elegant in Paris and Moscow, where we took influence from the French New Wave. We looked at Romy Schneider and Juliette Gréco, and movies like Contempt and Breathless. If you watch them now, they still have something very modern and inspirational about them, style wise."

"The gingham swimsuit Beth wears was chosen because, in a very cool way, it refers to the game of chess. It is sexy without showing off, and it speaks to Beth's self-confidence."

Benny Watts's Style

"Benny (played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) was our favourite guy to style. His look was inspired by the music and art scene from that time. We looked at Lou Reed and Joe Dallesandro, who were also part of the Andy Warhol party scene, but also Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones. Last but not least, we looked at Thomas's own appearance in Godless (2017), because we thought we could do a kind of cool homage to his Western style."
