The costume designer dresses somebody from the inside out. We care about what kind of underwear they’re wearing. It’s really important when you’re dressing somebody for a film to kind of think about what they’re wearing after they take their shower; what’s the process; what goes on underneath; what makes sense. And it’s a real internal process. The process of fashion is completely external. It’s disposable. It’s changeable.

Thanks again Ms. Moy,
I hadn’t thought about all the ins and outs of costuming! Underneath, inside, outside……
Thoroughly costuming.
