'Creepy Victorian vampire child': Costume designer Molly Emma Rowe on Talamasca: The Secret Order


Listen Later

Molly Emma Rowe is having the kind of year we all dream of. First came Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, a smash hit that found our Bridget back in short skirts and cardigans but with a newfound maturity courtesy of Rowe's keen eye. Now she's the designer behind the clothes on AMC's Talamasca: The Secret Order, a spy thriller vampire drama that features an impossibly chic Elizabeth McGovern in practical shoes and silk blouses.Rowe volunteered to be the very first guest on the Meet Me at Crafty podcast, and you can see why. She's funny, articulate, and very, very talented, whether she's wheedling plot details out of tight-lipped showrunners or insisting that she bring her full, trusty team with her on new projects. Watch the full interview above, and tune in to Talamasca on AMC every Sunday.Nicholas Denton stars as Guy Anatole; on the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. Elizabeth McGovern portrays Helen, a seasoned veteran of the Talamasca, and the leader of its New York Motherhouse; William Fichtner plays Jasper, a mysterious American who has quietly assumed control and influence over the Talamasca’s London Motherhouse; Maisie Richardson-Sellers plays Olive, a beguiling and ambitious agent of the Talamasca; Celine Buckens stars as Doris, strong-willed and with an old soul, she lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat; while Jason Schwartzman portrays Burton, a charming, rakish vampire, leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse, Eric Bogosian plays Daniel Molloy, and Justin Kirk is Talamasca agent Raglan James.Visit meetmeatcrafty.com for more stories.
