Costume tests for Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange were instrumental in developing the distinctive look of Alex DeLarge and his gang. Designer Milena Canonero collaborated closely with actor Malcolm McDowell to refine the iconic “droog” attire. McDowell contributed by suggesting the use of his own cricket whites, leading to the ensemble of white shirts, trousers, braces, and a protective cup worn externally. Kubrick further enhanced the look by adding elements like the bowler hat and cane, creating a unique and memorable aesthetic.
Photographs from these costume tests showcase McDowell experimenting with various accessories, including different hats and canes, to perfect the visual style of his character. These sessions were crucial in establishing the film’s visual identity, contributing significantly to its lasting influence on fashion and popular culture.
