The Academy Award Goes To...

Known as one of the biggest award shows for the film industry, the Academy Awards highlights the achievements of actors, producers, writers and composers. However one category that seems to be looked over is "set design". This year The Danish Girl has been nominated for the category, featuring stunning backdrops from 1920's Copenhagen, Paris, and Germany. Each location in the film, is designed with beautiful antique furniture and stunningly accurate interiors.

The Copenhagen set was done wonderfully, the addition of antique easels and chairs really solidifies the historical accuracy of the film. Architectural Digest sits down with the production designer Eve Stewart to discuss what went on behind the scenes to pull off this incredible period film.
