Between its music videos, flashbacks, performances and hilarious heightened version of showbiz, “Girls5eva” seems like a fun playground for any costume designer to play in. For Matthew Hemesath, who took over for Tina Nigro in Season 2, it was his dream job. “I was already a fan of the show before I was hired to do Season 2. And I just knew it was my dream job, so I begged them to hire me, basically,” he tells Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “What was so wonderful about it was that the show was already fabulous. Season 1 was great. I didn’t feel like there needed to be any fixing. It was just taking these characters further and just building on what had already been done and watching it grown. And it also was exciting to put my own stamp on their look – things that I love like a lot of color,...

Law,” “Picket Fences,” “The Practice,” “Ally McBeal,” “Big Little Lies”) and directed by Emmy-winning director Susanne Bier (“The Night Manager”), based on the book “You Should Have Known” by Jean Hanff Korelitz.

For some of the top costume designers in television and film, one thing has changed their jobs dramatically over the last two decades: the internet.
“How it can enhance your work just daily, your resources and your research. That’s been such a major game-changer that plays in the background of it all,” costume designer Jennifer Bryan (“Genius: Aretha”) tells Gold Derby during the Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel. “It’s such a huge leapfrog enhancement that didn’t exist at the beginning of our careers and now we just embrace them.”
“It’s so fascinating,” costume designer Signe Sejlund (“The Undoing”) adds. “The world has become really small in a sense and the fact you can source a dress or buy a dress from a woman in Hungary and you are in New York and you can ship the things, that’s amazing. To find those little pieces all over the world.

If there’s a lasting image from HBO’s “The Undoing,” the twisty murder mystery that won over viewers and critics last summer, it’s Nicole Kidman wearing a green coat. But the long jacket that launched countless memes had some very innocent origins, costume designer Signe Sejlund explains in the Gold Derby Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel.
“When I first read the script I knew Nicole was going to play the lead. She’s so tall and so magically so that was a big first step. Very quickly we decided her hair should be big and red and curly. There you have two major things. I am not afraid to be quite bold so she’s walking around New York constantly, so she needed coats,” Sejlund explains. “Because that’s what you wear when you’re in New York. So it became ‘The Coat Show.’”
