“ The net effect of Wilkes’ choices helps Palm Springs carve out its own place in the time-loop comedy pantheon. It feels like the right movie for our current moment in which every new day feels like yesterday, and the day before, and nihilism starts to seem like a credible ethos. Yet keeping hope alive is crucial, and Palm Springs leaves you with just enough.” Bryan Adams, The Credits, Motion Picture Association


“…Enter costume designer Colin Wilkes, who skillfully dressed Camila for the part of Palm Springs bride, with the bohemian details — flower crown and all — to match. The result is a bridal look that, as Colin told us, earned an audible gasp in the room when Camila first tried it on. For anyone who's ever been wedding-dress shopping — for yourself or a friend — you know that's pretty much goals. But what went into finding the dress? From the mood board to the details and the filming, Colin talked to us about creating the memorable moment on screen.”- Hannah Weil McKinley, POPSUGAR

“In the end, Wilkes created a look that captures an eternal “Palm Springs” vibe, worthy of a place in any guy’s warm weather rotation. Here’s how you can cop it for yourself with looks inspired by what you see in the movie.” -Charles Thorpe, MENS JOURNAL


 

”Understandably, repeating the same day — along with the same outfit — for eternity, could start to feel mundane. So as Sarah and Nyles find new activities to entertain themselves, they also incorporate fun layers, like faux-fur jackets in leopard prints and caps. 

"We were able to take more liberties in wild things, where they pick things up along the way on road trip to who knows where that day," explains Wilkes, adding that the idea was to "evolve and become something really fun and aid in the whole existential craziness of it all. Like 'fuck it! Who cares? Let's just make this awesome.’"

If Wilkes is looking for a side-hustle, wedding planning is a solid option, considering her precise attention to detail to the nuptials at the center of "Palm Springs." First, she looked to the "eternal summer" of the titular setting to devise the "very romantic, but faded, retro, slightly boho vibe with the dusty roses, the terracottas and the soft pinks" color scheme for the bridesmaid dresses and the groomsmen linen suits. - Fawnia SooHoo, FASHIONISTA

“ The genius of this indie is its cleverness in capturing the driest of times and the dullest of people in a faux documentary about the early days of man versus machine at the chessboard.”

“Helping is director of photography Matthias Grunsky, costume designer Colin Wilkes and production designer Michael Bricker’s keen attention to detail.” - Betsy Sharkey on COMPUTER CHESS

“The most striking thing about the movie is its amazingly detailed and precise reconstruction of the styles of the day—the haircuts, the clothing, the eyeglasses, and the furnishing; the classic computer, down to the blinking C.R.T. cursor and the dot-matrix printer” -Richard Brody on COMPUTER CHESS
