Jacqueline West is one of Hollywood’s most respected costume designers with four Oscar nominations for Philip Kaufmann’s Quills, David Fincher’s The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part One.
She is also Terrence Malick’s go-to costume designer, after a recommendation from his long-time production designer Jack Fisk, working with him on The New World, The Tree of Life, To the Wonder and Knight of Cups, while other credits include Stephen Norrington’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Ben Affleck’s Argo and Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Killers Of The Flower Moon.
Talking about her career in a masterclass for the Doha Film Institute, West said she fell into cinema by chance after connecting with Kaufmann through a clothes store she set up in Berkeley in the 1990s after majoring in art history, having originally planned to study sciences.
“I never planned to work in cinema,” she said.
As the daughter of a fashion designer, West grew up surrounded by the paraphernalia of fashion design such as a tailor’s dummy in her bedroom that she would dress for fun but had no plans to follow in her mother’s footsteps, even if she had a strong sense of style.
“When I got out of school, I taught kindergarten for a little while in a private school,” she recounted. “My husband-to-be said you should be in the clothing business because everyone wants to know where you got what you wear and he went out and rented me a storefront,” recalled West.
The premises were next door to Chez Panisse, the Berkeley restaurant founded by farm-to-table pioneer and cinephile Alice Waters and named after her favorite character in Marcel Pagnol’s trilogy, Marius, Fanny, and Cesar.
