This week Stacey talks fashion, character arcs, and process with critically acclaimed costume designer, Lyn Paolo. 

Much of Anna’s mystique comes from her ability to shapeshift, an ability intimately tied to her apparel. Lyn was in charge of recreating all of Anna’s many outfits for the screen. From baby-doll dress to business-chic to trial style, Lyn traces the evolution of Anna’s looks, and explains the unique challenges behind recreating the appearance of a modern day fashionista who Lyn calls a “chameleon.” 

Anna isn’t the only character whose story is reflected in what they wear. The people who get close to Anna in the series are affected by her elevated taste as well. Stacey and Lyn discuss the interaction between character arcs and fashion for Vivian, Rachel, and Alan Reed.
