Who designed the android dresses in Wong Kar Wai's 2046? (It looks Japanese, like Yohji Yamamoto.)

Hello and thank you for your question. "[L]ongtime Wong crew member William Chang, [is] credited for editing, production design, and costume design on ''2046." http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/articles/2005/08/14/slow_burn/?page=2 "The movie also starred some magnificent silk dresses, designed by William Chang." http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:gNhXjCQqaMQJ:www.iht.com/articles/2004/11/11/arts/trmovie12.html+2046+%22william+chang%22+dress&hl=en "The art director William Chang Suk-Ping designed the film's unique look, using overlapping textures and luminous colors to create an intense concentration of sensation and experience and controlling every visual detail, from settings and props to costumes, hair and makeup. He was also the film's editor. (For their work on the film, Mr. Chang and the cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Mark Li Ping-bin were awarded the Grand Prix de la Technique, the technical grand prize, at Cannes.)" http://www.tonyleung.org/news/itmfl2.shtml Thanks again for letting us help!

Thanks, I know that William Chang was the costume designer. But, I'd like to know specificially who designed the futuristic android dresses. It may be him, but none of those pages confirm it...

Hello again I thought is was a reasonable inference from "magnificent silk dresses, designed by William Chang" and "controlling every visual detail, from settings and props to costumes" that William Chang designed the futuristic android dresses.

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't agree. "magnificent silk dresses, designed by William Chang" - There were many silk dresses in the movie. "controlling every visual detail, from settings and props to costumes" - That could mean that he procured the dresses, rather than designed them. In fact, I think most people would assume the former. How do I reject this answer?

Also, the complete first quote is "The movie also starred some magnificent silk dresses, designed by William Chang.". My objection might make more sense if you take into account the word "some". :)
