Jonathan Anderson Tapped As Costume Designer for 'Challengers'
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the upcoming film stars Zendaya.
Since directing the overwhelmingly popular and emotional film Call Me By Your Name, Luca Guadagnino is set to get behind the camera for the upcoming film Challengers, starring Zendaya and tapping fashion designer Jonathan Anderson to design the costumes for the new movie, which is set in the world of professional tennis. The Euphoria actor is set to play the role of Tashi, an ex-player who has now coached her husband into the perfect player. Eventually, her husband is forced to play against Zendaya’s character’s former flame and childhood friend, sparking a complicated and very queer love triangle.
Given that sports is at the center of the Italian filmmaker’s latest movie, lovers of Anderson may look forward to stunning athleisure-inspired outfits worn by Zendaya. The fashion designer announced his newest venture on Instagram yesterday, writing, “[I’m] very excited to be working with my dear friend Luca Guadagnino on costumes for his new film Challengers, such a dream.” Guadagnino is no stranger to the fashion world as he previously worked with Valentino for his short film The Staggering Girl.
