I’m inspired as a costume designer by what I see young people doing. Either on the internet or standing right in front of me – street fashion.
Molly Rogers – American costume designer.
Ms. Rogers is currently working on the costumes for And Just Like That – the Sex and the City reboot due to air on HBO Max in December of this year.
Her past gigs include the television show Ugly Betty and the hit movie The Devil Wears Prada and she also worked closely with Patricia Field on the SATC series as well as both movies. Rogers had been working with Field since 1984 when she popped into the stylists’ shop and asked for a job.
Now she’s going solo with And Just Like That, as Field is busy working on Emily in Paris.
There are several Instagram accounts following the series production around NYC and providing us with a sneak peek at the costumes, which are getting mixed reviews.
As for the quote – there’s nothing better than street fashion IF you happen to live in a place like NYC or London or Pairs. People watching in such places offers amazing inspiration. But elsewhere there is little to no inspiring fashion to be found. So we have magazines, Instagram, and television shows like – And Just Like That.
I’m looking forward to indulging on some serious fashion candy come December.
I have gone back and collected french Elegance mag.and 1960’s70’s Paris Couture patterns. Some of which i personally made back then. Oh the Chapeaux- ooh la la. Each to their own I would say.
Merci,
