THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2021 • 43
Hailee Seinfeld (Emily) proved the perfect experiment for
this crossover combination. Hair stylist Josh Gericke kept the
Victorian line by use of a simple center part, a low bun at the
nape and sometimes loose soft flowy waves. For "Split the
Lark," Josh styled a half up and half down formal look. This rare
appearance for Emily was not overly structured and added to
the naïveté of a character outside of her preferred surroundings.
In Emily's hair, we see the best of both modern carefree hair and
Victorian propriety.
Sue (Ella Hunt) offered the fun of Victorian romanticism with
curls and braids embellished with authentic antique combs.
Celluloid accessories were in production by the late 1850s, so
no sea tortoises were harmed in the making of Dickinson.
The background actors were important to keep the audience
grounded in the period. Inset (L-R): Ella Hunt and Hailee Steinfeld.
