Rachael Fleming's distinctive approach to costume design is exemplified in her work on the movie, Trainspotting. She drew inspiration from Francis Bacon's art, utilizing a reduced-color palette to reflect the film's gritty atmosphere. This is how Fleming captured the 1990s Edinburgh setting and the film's cultural impact. Her collaboration with director Danny Boyle ensured that the costumes complemented the film's aesthetic and narrative. Fleming doesn’t dress actors; she sculpts icons.
