EW interviews ‘New Moon’ costume designer Tish Monaghan
November 29th, 2009 | Author: Georgina "Geo" Tena
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Anyone who’s listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn’t a fan of Edward’s pea coat.
TISH MONAGHAN: He wasn’t a fan of the pea coat. He wore it in virtually every scene, and I think maybe he just got tired of it. I’m guessing. [Laughs] He just wanted a more mature look. That was part of Edward’s Grade 11 year, and now he’s getting into his graduation year, he’s in a relationship. He had worn hoodies and jeans and sneakers, and Robert, the director [Chris Weitz], and I all wanted to portray him more as a gentleman, more elegant and classic. With our vampire characters, I always went back to the time period in which they were turned to see if there’s any element I could try to simulate in contemporary clothing. He came out of the Edwardian period, around 1910. Of course, most of the gentleman from that time would be wearing suits, coats, hats, etc. We had to pick something that was iconic for the character that would suffice to be used throughout the whole film. At the very beginning of the film, he has one school outfit, and then there’s Bella’s birthday party and disaster strikes. So Edward ends up in that same costume for the remainder of the film. I was thinking of just putting him in a dress shirt and a pair of pants, but Robert wanted to be in a suit.

I didn’t like the costumes for the vampires at all. I thought they all looked really stuffy. They were much more laid back in Twilight. The clothing aged them, especially Alice’s clothes.
I thought Robert looked hott!!!!!!!!!

Rosalie i was scooked to see her soo pretty and how she should look and she did a really great job that dress at bellas party was way cool.
i loved the Volturi’s costumes THEY ROCKED.the cullens costumes were great too followed by jacob and his friends
Why is it that NO ONE can find Victoria's New Moon outfit?! I scour the web and legions of inquiring minds are on the hunt. Faint trails lead to knockoff that don't even resemble the real deal.
