Andrew Garfield

Career & style

Andrew Garfield’s early screen work included Boy A, followed by The Social Network and Never Let Me Go in 2010. The Amazing Spider-Man films brought him to a much larger audience. His career also includes demanding stage and musical work: Angels in America on Broadway and the film tick, tick... BOOM! show how movement and voice participate in his performances, beyond the familiarity of a blockbuster character.

For a fashion archive, that movement between settings is more revealing than a list of labels. A superhero costume, a stage role and a festival suit perform different jobs. Read event photographs through proportion and texture, then distinguish those styling decisions from the demands of the screen role. This approach leaves room for the contributions of costume departments and other collaborators instead of assigning every visual choice to the actor alone.
