Aesthetics have always been important in Luca Guadagnino's movies, but 'Challengers' is the first time he has collaborated with a single fashion designer: Jonathan Anderson.
JWA's role in 'Challengers' is likened to Givenchy's significance in Blake Edwards' works, marking a major shift as a fashion designer takes on a film costume designer role.
'Challengers' presents a pop-art aesthetic, although the clothes might not immediately appear to be JWA's style without prior knowledge of the collaboration. Zendaya's character wears a graphic tee referencing a 1990s T-shirt worn by John F. Kennedy Jr.
Jonathan Anderson showcases a unique grasp on normcore in his designs, typically subverting or perverting it, which sets his work apart. However, in 'Challengers,' this dynamic approach is not as prominent.
