Rosalind Jana, writing in The Daily Telegraph, also praised the costume design and its importance to the plot, and concluded that "the storytelling becomes overly heavy handed, but the costumes never falter". [60] The film's production design was praised by some critics, including by Yasmin Omar for Harper's Bazaar, who found it "tremendous"; [61] Jaden S. Thompson, writing in The Harvard Crimson thought the design was "sleek, saturated". [62] Accolades [ edit ] Accolades received by House of Gucci Award Edgar Wright first conceived the idea for Last Night in Soho in 2007.

Growing up in Somerset, Wright listened to his parents' stories of coming of age in the 1960s, which contributed to his becoming enamoured with the era. [12] He nurtured his obsession through their 1960s record collection, saying he would "sort of almost just disappear into that decade through the music". [13] But he recalled that his mother's memories of Swinging Sixties London were not always fond ones, and that she once said: "I went to Soho once with my friend and we got harassed by a man and chased out. And that's the end of the story." [12]

"Something that I find truly nightmarish — and I guess there's an element where I'm sort of giving a sharp rebuke to myself — is the danger of being overly nostalgic about previous decades. In a way, the film is about romanticizing the past and why it's... wrong to do that." [14]
