22 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2025 Working on the film Bob Marley: One Love was an extraordinary experience, one that allowed me to dive deep into the creative process and collaborate with some of the most talented artists in the industry. The movie, which filmed in both the UK and Jamaica, required a meticulous approach to styling the characters, particularly the legendary Bob Marley, portrayed by Kingsley Ben- Adir. As co-designer, my role was to craft and set the looks for Kingsley as Bob Marley and other key characters, ensuring that every detail authentically reflected the essence of the era and the personalities of the figures being portrayed. The Beginning of the Journey e journey began with a phone call from Reinaldo Marcus Green, the visionary director behind this incredible film. Immediately, I knew that this project would require a unique and immersive approach to hair and make-up. I sprang into action, immersing myself in the script and the vivid descriptions provided by writers Zach Baylin, Reinaldo Marcus Green, Terence Winter and Frank E. Flowers. Each character was brought to life in my mind, setting the stage for the creative process. PHOTOS BY CHIABELLA JAMES/PARAMOUNT PICTURES
