COSTUME FOR WILLY WONKA IN CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
2013
Roald Dahl created the extraordinary Willy Wonka in his 1964 children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Mark Thompson based his costume design on Dahl’s description of Wonka’s black top hat, plum-coloured velvet tail-coat, bottle-green trousers and pearly grey gloves, adding the orange waistcoat, spotted shirt, striped tie and spats to accentuate Wonka’s eccentricity.
Designed by Mark Thompson
Velvet, satin, calico, rayon, cotton, silk and velour (costume), panne velvet and buckram (hat), painted cane, metal and rhinestones (cane)
