Powell stated, "80% of the job is psychology and only 20% art. You have to figure out how to make people feel safe, because dressing them is a very intimate act." This statement underscores the intricate relationship between costume design and the psychological comfort of actors during performance.
In 2023, Powell became the first costume designer to receive the Bafta Fellowship, marking a historic moment in recognition of her exceptional contributions to the film industry, akin to notable figures like Martin Scorsese.
Reflecting on her early inspirations, Powell shared, "I was taught to sew by my mother, while my father entertained me with tales from the casino. These experiences shaped my understanding of character and storytelling that I draw upon today."
Powell’s career trajectory, beginning with the film 'Caravaggio' in 1986 under Derek Jarman, showcases her evolution within the industry, gaining acclaim and recognition for her work with great talents like Tilda Swinton.
