The Treasure Hunter – Costumes

Comments 08 January 2010

The sumptuous and stylish costumes seen in The Treasure Hunter were created under the artful eye of Styling Director Shirley Chen.

One of the best custom design supervisors in the world, Chen has worked in the industry for 20 years on over 80 films. Shirley won the Golden Horse for her styling direction on the cult classic Chinese Ghost Story in 1986 and received the Best Custom Designer award in the 42nd Golden Horse Awards for her work on the film KongFu.

The majestic, yet dusty landscape of The Treasure Hunter is captured perfectly with the help of Cinematographer Xiao-Ding Zhao.

A graduate of Beijing Film College, Zhao's internationally-renowned works include Zhang Yimou's Hero and House of Flying Daggers, the latter nominated for Best Cinematography at the Academy Awards. Xiao-Ding's other filmic works include The Treasure Hunter director Kevin Chu's Kung Fu Dunk and Zhang Yimou's 2007 release, Curse of the Golden Flower.

Matching the splendid, rugged photography of the film is the art direction of award-winning Chung-Man Yee.

Yee's career includes work on blockbuster Asian titles such as Curse of the Golden Flower, Perhaps Love and Kung Fu Dunk and his accolades include an Academy Award, Taiwanese Golden Horse and two Hong Kong Film Awards. Chung-Man is one of the most highly respected art supervisors in the international film industry.
