Quite a lot — from making masks to preparing to safely return to work when productions start up again.
Like celebrity stylists pivoting toward creative new ways to service their clients and determining alternative income streams during the Covid-19 pandemic, costume designers find themselves in a unique position, too.
Deirdra Govan was in the midst of shooting "Girls Trip" writer Tracy Oliver's new Amazon series. After initially making masks at home, she decided to apply her Master of Science degree in interior architecture and design, with a focus on sustainability — her "backup plan" — to a dedicated cause.
The "Pretty Little Liars" designer, who returned to LA after five years in Vancouver designing "Charmed" and "BH90210," prepared to return to work after a few months off — and then the pandemic hit. Anxious and figuring out her next move, Line caught a screenwriter friend's IG Live. "I realized, I can do this with costume designers," she says, over the phone.
Lawson, who hosted his first Live for fashion brand Lafayette 148, also values the virtual engagement with fellow designers, from all experience levels. He's been part of SCAD's Costume Design Friday series, which gives students face-time with experts, including Line, Lou Eyrich, Michelle Cole and Hala Bahmet .
The program plans to wind down by May 29 and Romanov estimates that ultimately the program will have made and distributed upwards of 40,000 masks. "It’s inspiring to know that all these people are giving all this time and effort to help their community," she says. "It makes me proud to be a union member."
Live competition show "The Voice" headed into the finale with contestants singing from home. So longtime designer Erin Hirsh and a scaled-down crew helped contestants choose performance-ready looks from their own wardrobes, plus quickly pinpointed online retailers to meet short-timelines. "Those three shopping days in the beginning were exhausting," Hirsh tells Fashionista via email. "We worked at least 10 hours a day shopping online.
