2018/10/06 08:30:38 Vogue's Camilla Nickerson Remembers the Making of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” "I got a call that this film director who I hadn’t heard of, David Fincher, wanted to meet me at Shepperton Studios for a video he was doing for George Michael. It was “Freedom! ’90.” And I went there, and he had this room, and he was surrounded by these drawings for Alien 3, and it was incredible. I remember it being very, very dark, and just all these sketches. And I was very surprised when he wanted me to work on it. He was incredibly specific about how he wanted Christy [Turlington] to walk in this white sheet. It had to be incredibly long and made of Irish linen, so that the thread count was light enough for the light to come through. And that used up the budget. So then everyone else’s clothes had to come from my wardrobe. So you have Naomi [Campbell] wearing my boyfriend’s boots and Linda [Evangelista] pulling my sweater over her head. George knew all the girls, and partied in the back room with them, and I didn’t see them. You know, I was hired help. Very happily hired help. I remember Cindy [Crawford] was the most professional. Like, she came fully ready to lip-synch. She was always incredibly professional, in a way that everyone else sort of cobbled it together and just got out of bed and got there, and were having the time of their lives living night and day. But she was remarkable, because that’s how she approached everything".
