“The actors would literally burn through them when they landed. “It was a motif I loved because it said something very Harley about her vibe and her way that would say F-off,” notes Benach, who created 13 outfits for Harley with additional copies to accommodate the action scenes. Her costumes also reflect her DIY side, such as the caution tape jacket made of shredded tape one would find as a barrier at a police crime scene. “The superhero world is a little more grounded and urban now, which is why we went in this fashion direction and hope people will connect.”
“It felt very ‘of the moment’ and Gotham,” she says. “We tested tons of colors with the DP, and the gold leather etched with a diamond pattern reflected the light the best.”Ĭharacter details are found in Harley’s clothing, such as the pink onesie with a crying-hearts pattern she wears after her break-up with the Joker and a white T-shirt top and pants with a “Harley F*cking Quinn” stamp that declares her independence to the world.

“It was highly functioning (the cutter figured out a way to have full rotation at the knees), very Harley, fun and spontaneous,” Benach details. One of Harley’s standout costumes was a one-piece gold leather overall-styled jumpsuit with a pink bandeau top. “I created all the costumes from scratch, and everything was articulated for stunts where they could stretch, move, turn and twist,” she says.
The character’s clothing was sexy, colorful and, above all, utilitarian, as with superheroines, design must support the high-powered action scenes. “Margot respects everyone’s craft, and it was an awesome collaboration working with her.” “Margot had played her before, and so it was very helpful to have her react to the clothing and reply, ‘Oh this is so Harley,’ as the character would just grab whatever she wanted, and that was a real lightbulb moment for me,” says Benach, who is best known for Lady Gaga’s wardrobe for A Star Is Born. Reprising her role as the unpredictable Harley Quinn is Margot Robbie, who also serves as a producer on the film.
