AMA: We’re the costume designers for Ridley Scott’s latest epic “Gladiator II.” Ask us anything about our longtime careers in film and TV, and about working on such a huge project.

We are Janty Yates (Costume Designer) and David Crossman (Costume Designer – Military Costumes) and we had the pleasure of working on Ridley Scott’s new film, Gladiator II. We’ve both spent decades working in the industry, garnering awards, and working on some of the biggest movies in Hollywood.

We’ve been on Ridley Scott projects previously, and between the two of us, we’ve worked on franchises like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Alien. With an eye for detail, and a love of storytelling, our passion for outfitting the right actors in the perfect wardrobes is very special to us both.

If you want to know more about the process, the methods, and the artistry of costume design for big, epic movies, we’re here to take your questions.

We are:

Janty Yates, Costume Designer. Yates has worked in this field since 1989 and has two Academy Award nominations, including one win. Gladiator II marks Yates 18th collaboration with Ridley Scott

David Crossman, Costume Designer – Military Costume. Crossman has worked as a costume designer since the late 90s and has one Academy Award nomination for Napoleon, which he shares with Yates.
