THE PICTURES PERIOD CORRECT
When Miyako Bellizzi was designing the costumes for “Marty Supreme,” the new Josh Safdie movie, she spent a lot of time thinking about Timothée Chalamet’s underwear. His character, Marty, a Ping-Pong champ from the Lower East Side, might have worn a one-piece union suit, the conventional male undergarment of 1952, when the movie is set. But boxers and briefs were just coming into style, and although most of Marty’s shabby wardrobe was likely a few years old, Bellizzi opted to put him in the newfangled undies. She explained her logic: “It’s kind of like how our grandmothers aren’t wearing thongs, but we are.” (She added, “And, to be honest, the union suit is not the greatest look, right?”)
