S5 E6: Allyson Fanger, Emmy-nominated Costume Designer, expressing who you are through your clothing

Allyson Fanger is best known for her costume design work on the popular Netflix series, “Grace and Frankie,” and recent work with "Shrinking" on Apple TV, "80 for Brady" of Paramount Pictures and "Act Your Age" on Bounce TV/MGM. Born and raised in Minnesota, Allyson’s career as a costume designer was innate but developed over time, patience, and truly putting the work in from the ground up. This episode is full of fun: have you ever wondered where or how the clothes come together for a movie set or TV series? Allyson answers these questions and so much more. We learn just how integral Allyson’s role is in curating the various characters of a media piece: from reading a script, to assessing the actor filling the character role, to where she shops for the characters. We learn about her methods for putting together the message a character is trying to convey to the audience just as we as people are when we present ourselves out to the world. Allyson has mastered telling a story through clothing even down to details. She has been credited with bringing the notion as well as the visual psychology of truly ageless style into mainstream media, and that couldn’t be more apparent in our conversation with her! By the end of this episode, you will have learned that the only way to present your best self, is to be your best self - and she will provide some tools to do just that!
