From the beginning stages of design to the final sample, the Costuming Design team prioritized including cast members in the development journey, ensuring the new look was as comfortable and functional as it was fashionable.
“Having cast feedback and input from the beginning was critical and shaped a large part of the development of the costumes,” said Lynn Kaufman, costume designer. “It was a beautiful process; I’m looking forward to seeing how people react (to the costumes).”
The mix-and-match costumes feature breathable fabrics, inclusive sizing, and optional accessories that allow cast members to showcase their personalities. “Everyone has different preferences in what they wear and what makes them feel confident,” said Tyler Girdner, an entertainment character host who had the opportunity to be involved in costume development. “Having different pieces for different body types and different personalities is a cool step forward.”
