What does a Costume Designer really do?Are they the ones that make the clothes? What's their relationship with the director and the actors? Why is it more complex than just making people look pretty? And why do they look tired all the time?My podcast aims to not only clarify these questions, but to show why Costume is far, far more fascinating than the answers. Hosted on Acast.
