Fishnet Flix: A Costume Design Podcast

We're kicking off the weekend with a new episode: New York Minute (2004) with thee #1 Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen fan, Natalie Burris of @halloweenqueens! 

The great Roger Ebert once said about this cult classique, “Not only should it have gone straight to video but should have gone straight THROUGH video and kept on going to the end of the universe and never looked back." All the love to Rog, but we RESPEKFULLY have to ...

"L.A. is like... nowhere. Everybody who lives here is lost." Gregg Araki hive, please rise! On this week's show, we're talking about Nowhere, the third and final film in the director's teen apocalypse trilogy with the only person that could have done this episode justice, Araki superfan, and host and founder of the iconic Fashion Grunge podcast, website, and Instagram, Lauren Brown. We discuss the outrageous cos...

"Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing." We’re wrapping up Wedding Month with one of the greatest rom-coms of all time, My Best Friend’s Wedding. It stars Julia Roberts as Julianne, a 27-year-old food critic who made a pact with her dude bff (Dermot Mulroney) that if they aren’t married by the time they turn the ripe old age of 28, they’ll get married to each oth...

“The best thing is you can shorten it and wear it again.” If you’ve ever had to wear a hideous bridesmaids dress, you might appreciate today’s episode on 27 Dresses, the 2008 wedding rom-com starring Katherine Heigl as a woman who is “always the bridesmaid, never the bride”— quite literally, 27 times. Costumes were by Catherine Marie Thomas (Kill Bill, The Proposal, The Flight Attendant) who designed the titular dresses that were s...

We’re continuing with our wedding season theme with our music minisode pick: Sade’s 1992 hit “No Ordinary Love.” Directed by Sophie Muller, we watch our forever style icon Sade invoke her inner Ariel and portray a mermaid who falls in love with a hunky, Jean Paul Gaultier-esque sailor. She then decides to sew herself a marabou trim wedding dress and grow some legs to find him on land and runs barefoot through the New York City stre...

We're kicking off our first wedding month —that's right, we're doing all wedding-themed movies (who are we?)—with Bride Wars, a 2009 friend-com that stars two childhood besties (Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway) who declare war on each other when they end up booking their weddings on the same date. June at the Plaza! Costume designer Karen Patch (whose work we discussed on our recent Royal Tenenbaums episode) tapped Vera Wang...

Grab your Hefty bags, Fishies, 'cause it's time for us to show some RESPEK to one of the greatest music videos of all time: Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," which came out 25 years ago this May. That garbage bag/Michelin man look that's burned in our minds was by June Ambrose (who also did our fave Belly). This was peak Hype Williams era, so we're blessed with his trademark fisheye lens which ...

We've got a wild card this week: Fresh, the new Hulu rom-com-turned-horror movie about a woman named Noa (Daisy Edgar-Jones) who has a meat-cute, ahem, with a man named Steve (our fave hunk Sebastian Stan) in a grocery store but he doesn't turn out to be the seemingly nice dude she thought he was. You wouldn't think there'd be a lot of looks, but in fact, there are! Including some smart choices with hidden meanings,...

Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hitting the cemetery? Today we're joined by  Véronique Hyland, ELLE fashion features director and author of the new book, Dress Code, to talk about The Royal Tenenbaums! Costume designer Karen Patch (Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) built custom Lacoste, FILA, and Adidas pieces for the dysfunctional-yet-fashionable Tenenbaum crew. From Margot's fam...

For this week's mini music episode, we're taking a lil trip back to 1995 when "Just a Girl" by No Doubt made its debut! The video featured Gwen Stefani in all her badassery: Dickies pants with a DIY fabric stripe on the side, thrifted DIY bedazzled and iron-on crop tops, cholo initial belts...'90s youths (especially our fellow Socal babies) will get hit with a tidal wave of fashion nostalgia. What's cool is ...

We're runnin' through the house with a pickle in our mouths! The Righteous Gemstones' costume designer Sarah Trost joins us on the pod today to discuss all of the fabulously flamboyant looks seen on the HBO show, which just had its season finale! Some topics of note: Jesse's Elvis-inspired clothing, Kelvin's penchant for leopard print, BJ's magnificent romper, Season 1's goth looks, shopping at Santee Al...

Get ready for a road trip, Janet Jackson style! For this bite-sized episode, we discuss the music video for "You Want This," from Janet's self-titled 1993 album. Inspired by Russ Meyer's 1965 cult classic "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" Miss Janet and her dancers rock crop tops and Ben Davis and Dickies work pants with the waistbands rolled down and do the butterfly on the ground, HELLO! 'Memba that move...

Costume designer Jeriana San Juan joins us on the pod to discuss her work on Netflix’s limited series "Halston," of which she is nominated for a Costume Design Guild Award: Excellence in Period Television (and was also nominated for an Emmy last year). Jeriana nailed so many of Halston’s trademark designs so beautifully, from his tie-dye chiffon caftans, backless halter dresses, and ultra suede trench dresses, to the stage...
