“Billions” Costume Designer dishes on Wendy Rhoades’ enviable looks
Posted by Eric Daman in Billions on April 17, 2016
When Jane Carlson from The Hollywood Reporter, asked me about Maggie Siff’s character’s powerful, streamlined style on the Showtime series, Billions, I said “The minute she walks through the office you know you don’t want to f–k with her.”

@ElleMagazine asked me “Why is this billionaire wearing a $22 Metallica t-shirt?”

When Justine Harman, the senior entertainment editor at ELLE.com, asked me about Damien Lewis’s idiosyncratic manner of dressing on Billions, I said “Axe isn’t Chuck Bass. He has a $300 T-shirt that doesn’t have to have holes all over it with epaulets; he’s selected a quiet V-neck that drapes just right…And then, when Axe does wear a suit, it’s like a punch to the face.”

I told @VogueMagazine how the @AstronautWives’ retro fashions are topped off with chic shades.

When Vogue.com’s Senior Culture Writer Julia Felsenthal asked me about my costume designer’s backstory on The Astronaut Wives Club, I said “We’re not doing men in great suits and women in New York silhouettes. We’re starting in middle America, and having this journey with the wives as they grow into themselves and learn about life and style.”
But I can’t go without giving props to our prop master Jonathan R. Hodges for working with costumes to source vintage styles from American Optical, Persol, and Ray-Ban. It’s one of those gray areas where costumes and props converge. Julia Felsenthal notes “The finishing touch [in] finding each woman the perfect pair of shades [is major] because nobody needs eye protection like an astronaut’s wife, for whom staring up at the sky is basically an occupational hazard.”

I told @WhoWhatWear how I styled each of the amazing women in The Astronaut Wives Club—

“The style evolution of each wife is a sign of the times and a sign of their personal evolution as well. For the men it was about being launched into space, but for the wives it was about being launched into a social stratosphere. I tried to tell a fashion-as-final-frontier story tracking time and self-discovery with each outfit selection. The transformation from everyday army wife in a homemade shirt waist dress to social butterfly best dressed in a Pucci pantsuit!”
I answered WhoWhatWear’s call with 17 exclusive fashion facts, icons and my inspiration for how I designed a signature look for each amazing woman of The Astronaut Wives Club.
