UTA Signs Fashion and Costume Designer Jonathan Anderson (EXCLUSIVE)

variety.com:

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor UTA has signed fashion and costume designer Jonathan Anderson for representation. The signing comes as Anderson, who is prolific in the world of fashion and creative director for Loewe, crossed over into costume design this year with his collaborations with filmmaker Luca Guadagnino on “Challengers” and “Queer.” Earlier this year, “Challengers” actor Josh O’Connor discussed how Anderson’s choices helped shape Patrick’s character.

In the film, Patrick, a tennis player, is fighting for Tashi’s (Zendaya) attention and dons a pair of purple shorts while living out of his car.

Said O’Connor, “As Josh, I would have felt so deeply uncomfortable with them. First of all, the size. He probably had those shorts from when he was, like, 14.

He doesn’t mind if it’s a bit revealing — he doesn’t give a shit.” Anderson was also responsible for Patrick’s other look, one he shared with Tashi, which was a t-shirt emblazoned with “I TOLD YA.” The tee is a near replica of one John F.
