Romeo and Juliet was a 1968 film directed by Franco Zeffirelli, for which Danilo Donati created the costume designs. Donati was amongst the Hollywood costume designers interviewed by Lucy M. FitzGerald and Gwendolyn L. Brown for a study on the influence of the specific era in costume design for period movies. They discovered that designers who appreciate the authenticity of the era often incorporate modern design aspects that aren't coherent with the historical period. In a thesis paper about film costume design, a student asserts that costume designers for contemporary adaptations of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (set in the kingdom of Denmark during the late medieval period) unintentionally incorporate such elements at times.

Which quotation from an interview with a costume designer would most effectively support the student's claim?

• A.

  "I typically focus on components like cloaks, boots, and headpieces that a character wears. These pieces help convey information about the character's societal status during that era."

• B.

  "My goal is to manifest a vivid representation of the character and the universe they inhabit. This sometimes means staying true to the style of the historical era, but often, as in adaptations of 'Hamlet', some leniency is needed to convey a concept to the audience."

• C.

  "Costumes should always mirror the appropriate historical period. I have seen costumes that draw from a range of periods too many times, resulting in a film with a visually puzzling style."

• D.

  "During the 1990s, I was in charge of costuming for a production of 'Hamlet'. Even though I tried to use materials and techniques authentic to the play's historical setting, when I look back, I unmistakably see the influence of 1990s fashion in my designs."
