Everything you see on a movie screen is more or less the art director's responsibility. They basically juggle just about everything from the clothes to the set and the makeup. all so the viewer can feel like they are watching an actual living breathing world.
The Matrix had the challege of creating this virtual world, so naturally the film had not one but two art directors: Hugh Bateup and Michelle McGahey. Hugh Bateup is well known for supporting the Wachowski's art form for the "Matrix" trilogy. He then again became the assistant art director for their next film"Speed Racer".Michelle McGahey perviously worked on Tv films and a movie called "Dark World" which you can tell has a lot of resemblance with the matrix's dark clothing and set design.
The wardrobe was so inspirational that it was highly used afterwards in films such as "Equilibrium" and also "Dark World"
