Fennell also lent her own costumes to the film, including the Alexander McQueen jacket worn by Rosamund Pike's character Elspeth, which she bought for £150 on eBay. (“Rosamund wore it and she looked so amazing that it ruined my jacket,” she jokes.) As for the rest of the designer goods, Canale has worked directly with several fashion houses, including Chanel, Valentino, and Dior. , Chloe, Christopher Kane, Agent Provocateur and Jenny Packham dress up as Saltburn's eccentric residents and visitors.
As with their vintage nature, some costumes have a rich history. For Venicia, the troubled youngest Caton played by Alison Oliver, Canale drew on contemporary figures such as Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, while maintaining an edge and wayward self-awareness. “We also had items that Amy Winehouse wore for Venice,” says Canale.
Costume designers drew on similar pop culture references for the Oxford girls. “Kate Moss was doing a Topshop collection at the time, so Annabelle and some of the girls in college wanted Kate Topshop dresses,” says Canale. However, in the case of Pike, Canale sought to reflect Elspeth's past as a model of free spirit and how it influenced her elite social status. “I wanted her to wear this kind of fashion, but I also wanted her to have a bohemian, relaxed vibe, so it wasn't this stuffy British upper class vibe.” [style]”
