This week, we’re stepping into the world of costume design with two incredible guests: costume designer Ashley Kae Snyder and writer/filmmaker Jessica McLaughlin. Part one of our two-part series highlights three unforgettable films and the visionary designers behind them.
- Ashley brings us Tarsem Singh’s The Fall (2006), where Eiko Ishioka’s breathtaking costumes blur the lines between imagination and reality. We talk about the Bandits' best looks, the way costumes mirror a child’s perspective, and how they seamlessly interact with setting and cinematography.
- Jessica takes us into the wild and controversial world of Ken Russell’s The Devils (1971), with costumes by Shirley Ann Russell. We cover everything from masks and subliminal messages in the wardrobe, to its commentary on gender and sexuality, and the film’s notorious history of censorship.
- And finally, we close out the show with Bella's pick, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (2010). Where Colleen Atwood’s Oscar-winning designs gave Alice endless looks—from emo-influenced beginnings to fantastical transformations. We share our favorite Alice costumes, what worked (and what didn’t), and whether or not these costumes can stand the test of time
Three films down, three more to go—don’t miss part two of our costume design series next week!
