"Nolan Miller's work on 'Dynasty' (1980-1989) and 'The Love Boat' (1977-1985) made me realize someone had to put all these clothes together, and I started paying attention to actors' costumes. Then, watching 'Flashdance' (1983) starring Jennifer Beals really intrigued me — Michael Kaplan's work was inspiring. I took a design job on a TV movie becau...
"I loved 'The Munsters' (1964). They wore the same thing every day — it was so impactful. I loved 'Mommie Dearest' (1981) and swoon over the costumes by Irene Sharaff in that movie (and the drag one-liners!) 'Overboard' (1987) with Goldie Hawn ... Camp! Camp! Camp! So inspired. I've payed homage by heightening costumes on 'And Just Like That.' A go...
"I got really sick in high school with a hereditary blood disorder right around the time the Baz Luhrmann film, 'Moulin Rouge' (2001) came out on DVD. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. This film kept me sane while I was in and out of the hospital. I watched it every day for six months! Watching 'Moulin Rouge' distracted me from that a...
"I remember watching 'The Truman Show' (1998) in high school and being struck by how much the costumes expanded the story. Everyone within Truman's world is living in a TV show within the film. The costumes are slightly reminiscent of 1950s Americana: They're unnecessarily cheerful and timeless. The wardrobe helped create the nightmarish existence ...
"I've been watching old movies since I was a little girl. My mother used to take me to the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, Tennessee to see classic films. It was also the family tradition to watch 'Gone With The Wind' (1939), 'Wizard of Oz' (1939), 'Sound of Music' (1965) and 'The Ten Commandments' (1956) every year all together. "The film that insp...
"When I was a teen growing up in '90s Hong Kong, no one knew that costume design was a job. But I was aware what a fashion designer was and what a movie director was. At the time, I was gravitating towards John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier, whose design work was more theatrical. Then Luc Besson's 'The Fifth Element' (1997) came out, and I found ...
"I loved the time period and the theme of the film, 'My Fair Lady' (1964, above). We see Audrey Hepburn transform from a working class girl into someone who could be a part of high society in 1912. My favorite outfit is the one she wears at the horse race: the iconic one with the big black and white hat. Cecil Beaton was the costume designer and hi...
"My favorite film growing up was definitely 'Clueless' (1995) — that was just such an iconic movie for a teenager, and I don't even think I was a teenager when that was out. Plus, 'Romy & Michele's High School Reunion' (1997), which was also costume designed by Mona May. I just was like, 'This is incredible.' I also was watching 'B*A*P*S' (1997), d...
"Jenny Beavan's and John Bright's costume design in 'Room With a View' (1985) was the first time I'd seen period costumes that not only felt authentically observed, but also what struck me is that the choices were so specific and honest to each character, while being heightened to the perfect degree so as not to feel like a museum piece. This had a...
"I have a love/hate relationship with '70s Blaxploitation films. As a kid I loved watching them. They were socool! The action, the dialogue, the clothes — come on, 'Foxy Brown!?' As an adult, I knew that the name was coined because some felt it was exploiting negative stereotypes in the urban African American community. But seeing people that looke...
