Ok! So we narrowed down the leather to the city of ROME!
How did you begin thinking about the Mad Hatter's costume?
In the first fitting, I had all these ideas — the bandoleer of silk thread spools, the fun ribbons on his outfit. I wanted Johnny to use the tools of hat making if he wanted to. And he took to it like a duck to water. The jacket relates to the period of Lewis Carroll, but it is in totally different materials, with lots of layers of silk. I found some leather in Rome that was laser-cut to look like it had been burnt. We had the hat made out of that.
