The costume designer was also intrigued by Munden's mention of the Kibbo Kift, an English youth movement, celebrating the outdoors, fitness and world peace. Founded by artist John Hargrave in 1920, the group made their own rugged, arty and wildlife-referential costumes. Clapton imagined the once-carefree, nature-loving Alice as a member of the group.
