Lisa also eyed several Dracula classic version for tips to ready the Nicolas dress of a "current but timeless wardrobe".

"The character has developed over time, and there's a continuity to the look that's been established. It was important for me to maintain that continuity, and hopefully to build on it, with respect for its history," she added.
