Marianne Lane's Dior wardrobe was created especially for Tilda Swinton by Raf Simons, Dior's creative director at the time. The rest of the characters laid back looks were fashioned by costume designer Giulia Piersanti, to compliment Marianne's casual style as well as their own intentions. Harry, for instance, has an eccentric mix of city and holiday clothing. Piersanti imagined that he didn't necessarily plan this trip and that he's being there was a spur of the moment decision to go mess things up for Marianne and Paul. She went to Charvet in Paris with Ralph Fiennes to get shirts made for the movie and it was very funny to see him change into Harry as soon as you would drape a fabric over him since he is so different from his character. Penelope has a similar starting point as she's basically been dragged along on her father's unexpected adventure. Piersanti wanted her to have very city girl feel to her look at the beginning, but her relative youth is a constant undercurrent as she finds herself swimming in her underwear because she hasn't bought a swimsuit yet. Her Smiley face sweater at the end of the movie when she is trying not to cry says a lot about her need to always look aloof to things that secretly matter to her, according to Piersanti . Paul, on the other hand, is a photographer and filmmaker who out of the whole crew probably cares the least about what he's wearing. Piersanti wanted his wardrobe to be uncared for, very worn in and repetitive like a uniform. She ended up referencing storied photographers such as Richard Avedon and Helmut Newton who always seemed to take self-portraits of themselves in a jean shirt or t-shirt and jeans. Piersanti also suggests viewers pay attention to the very subtle moments when one character wears the other character's clothing items to show their true motivations. For instance, Penelope putting on Marianne's espadrilles shoes to go hiking with Paul or Marianne wearing Harry's shirt while cutting his hair as a reminder of their shared history together. "The most important thing was the state of mind the characters were in", Piersanti says.
