Blogs and apps that show fans where to buy the clothes they see on television are becoming a viable business, one that some costume designers are reluctant to be a part of.
Back in the mid-aughts, Rachel Zoe started showing up in celebrity gossip rags almost as frequently as the waif-like celebrities she was dressing (N
Last year, the Emmy nominees for Outstanding Costumes for a Series were Boardwalk Empire, Downton Abbey, The Borgias, Game of Thrones, and Once Upon a Time. Game of Thrones obviously won, and we wouldn't be surprised if it went on a winning streak for the rest of its time on air. And we get it--those costumes are awesome, as are those of the other nominated shows. But is it fair that contemporary shows rarely get recognized for their costumes?
Earlier this month we learned that one of our favorite prime time soaps about rich people (yes, we have multiple favorites), Revenge, would be getting a clothing line. Details were sparse, and obviously we wanted to know more, so we rang costume designer Jill Ohannesson. Though a retail partner has yet to be confirmed, Ohannesson filled us in on what we can look forward to.
Revenge is not just your average prime time soap. People are madly obsessed with this show and the ruthless, wealthy, expensively-dressed Hamptonites it follows. In fact, some of its cast members have become style stars in their own right, the best example being Ashley Madekwe (aka Ashley Davenport), whom we chatted with on last night's CFDA Awards red carpet. And soon, thanks to ABC, you'll be able to dress just like all of the show's morally corrupt characters.
Excited for tonight's Revenge finale? The costume designer for one of our favorite prime time soaps answers all of our questions about the characters' stylish and red-heavy wardrobes.
