Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?

[jekyllballoon]

Okay I know I know I KNOW there’s a canonical huge physical difference between the appearance of Jekyll and the appearance of Hyde but I love thinking that it’s just Jekyll in a different hat walking around like “nyehehehehe” and everyone is like “Doctor Jekyll what are you-“ and then they get whacked in the shins so hard they decide to never question him again.

''Mr Utterson the lawyer was a man of rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable''

Gabriel J. Utterson QC is London's most beloved elite Solicitor and ex-Barrister, at home in most London circles; his company is coveted for his dry wit, which he can dish out from behind a glass of his favourite gin and his inclination to help rather than reprove the misdeeds of his contemporaries. For Utterson is the man about town with a rational view on things, not easily caught up in excitement and the high pressure of city life. No matter what sort of down-going man would knock at the doors of Utterson's firm, there is never a shade of change to be found in his demeanour, which is undefeatably monotone and unexcitable. Utterson is a devoted friend to those he has known the longest and to his kinsmen, and he prides himself on his stoic personality. By all accounts, he is not too dissimilar from his pet hound Jericho, a lethargic, loyal beast until it catches a scent, and turns into a relentless pursuer. But this popular image of him belies Utterson's true personality. Gabriel is, by nature, a sharp man, with a now-stamped-out inclination toward natural flair and theatricality, and an appreciation for the arts that's simmered into distant acknowledgement. Much like another and more secretive, desperate and long shunned part of his identity, which finds purpose in being at the constant beck and call of his long-time friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, who is more than interested in the secret lives of London's elite. Gabriel hopes perhaps for a little more familiarity with Jekyll, a desire which he won't ever be able to shake unless he stops looking through purple-tinted glasses at all the Doctor does. Scroll down for details on the costume design!

Character & Costume design

Utterson is a 49-year-old Englishman who's had an extremely successful career so far. I really wanted him to look his age and not shy away from this settled, professional Victorian look; his personality is also a big part of how I designed his outfit.

In my colour coding, brown is the colour of 'common' and normality. It's no surprise then that this is Utterson's main colour.

His suit is inspired by the 'sack-suit'. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a sack suit, but it does give him a very boxy and straight look.

The material is tweed with a purple wool weave, which is expensive; despite his dreary style, it's clear he spends money on good clothes. The purple symbolises how sinisterly intertwined Jekyll is in Utterson's life.

His glasses are another example of this: tortoiseshell-style, he's clearly affluent.

Utterson's cane is topped with a hound; it's the most ornate thing in his design. This is because Utterson has a hobby for collecting canes! He will frequently swap out his canes and browse shops for new ones he likes; it's something that remains of his more relaxed personality.

Obviously, his being a dog owner and the dog cane isn't random; Utterson has a doggish, subservient personality.

Jericho, his bloodhound, is Utterson's pride and joy and a constant companion during his walks with Enfield. The name is a reference to Dr Jekyll and Mr Seek, which partly inspired me when crafting elements of Utterson's story.

pls read the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, pls,,, pls,,

[recycledmoviecostumes]

This is the time of year when we're drawn to dark classic tales, such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This striped Victorian costume is special not just for its beauty, but because two Hollywood greats wore it. Many costumes made for a star go on to be used by extras, but this particular piece has graced the silhouettes of two iconic actresses.

Designed by the legendary Adrian, it was first worn by Ingrid Bergman as Ivy Peterson in the 1941 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It later made its appearance in the 1944 film Gaslight, worn by Angela Lansbury as Nancy Oliver, the maid.
