At the end of the film, there really is quite a big character arc.
As Phillips began to identify signature Dylan pieces, it became apparent that jeans were his most-worn staple.

He was a big fan of the Beatles, and that informed his style greatly.
Boots and jeans have since really become the archetype for rock and roll.

Elle Fanning as Sylvie
We had endless fittings, says Fanning of working with Phillips.
[Suze] was a real inspiration to Bob in so many ways.
She was very politically active, and really influenced him in that way.

Phillips saw Sylvies costumes as a reflection of the young woman’s interests and activism.

We had so many fittingsI don’t even think I can count how many fittings, says Philips.
Her favorite memories were the special moments she shared with the cast through it all.
We were all kind of in bootcampwe would have these sessions just pulling pieces, says Phillips.
Timmy would show up with a guitar, and we would play music.
He would be rehearsing in our fittings.
