Show is curated by Mary Rose<\/strong>, President of the Costume Designers Guild and also Television Academy Governor, Costume Design and Supervision. FIDM, host to the exhibit, is also home to this season\u2019s Project Runway.<\/p>\nEvidence of this year\u2019s synergy between costume design and Depression-era fashion trends is spotlit in the exhibit, particularly those pieces on display from vintage-looking Grey Gardens<\/em>, Chanel<\/em> and Mad Men<\/em>. Janie Bryant, Costume Designer for Mad Men<\/em>, acknowledges that her choices are often very eco-friendly but also admits that it is an afterthought for her. \u201cI use all vintage pieces \u2013 woolens, silks, I recycle fur,\u201d she said. \u201cI am primarily designing for the show\u2019s look but when I can make eco-friendly choices as well, all the better.\u201d<\/p>\nDepression-era styles are popping up in fashion shows, on street-wear and in the collections of new designers such as Miss K.K. who are re-purposing using sourced quality vintage-era garments rather than exploiting new materials.<\/p>\n
Costume Guild member Nancy Fisher who works primarily on commercial shoots commented that she would much rather reach for an eco-tee but knows that she can only dress her clients in things they want to wear. \u201cIf I\u2019m working with Cameron Diaz, for example, then it\u2019s no problem to get her to wear eco. In fact, she prefers it. If only all the talent I worked with were like-minded\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
