THE ARTISAN SPRING 2025 • 25 Rebecca Woodfork-Ziegler doing last looks on Monica Barbaro Jaime Leigh McIntosh doing last looks on Timothée Chalamet so I opted for a three-fourths horseshoe wig piece, so we could use Monica's own top and front, tightly wrap the rest of her hair under the hairpiece which gave her the length needed. Keeping the styling very natural with a little frizz and fly aways to keep her grounded. Johnny Cash was played by the very fair- headed Boyd Holbrook. We cut Boyd's hair into shape and coloured it dark, as well as the prosthetic appliance make-up tinted his brows and lashes, adjusted his skin tone to give more of a tanned look and used brown contacts to change eye colour. Boyd's hair texture is very different to Cash's, but by using a mix of products and styling techniques, we managed to get it closer to the real deal. Sylvie Russo, played by Elle Fanning, is a character based on the historical figure Suze Rotolo. We had two wigs made for Elle, keeping the colour close to the reference images we had of Suze and choosing a couple of styles that were prominent throughout the research. In her journey, we start Sylvie off with long hair, with a casual half-up bump. As she matures and her story shis, we bring the length up, add layers but continue with the less-is-more natural style. Being able to work on a period film that explores a large music aspect was fascinating and incredible to be a part of. If given the opportunity, I would recommend the experience to anyone that has a love for music. •
