I was just talking about designers with my friend today. I want to know who Lady Gaga's costume designer is and see if there's any more. I enjoy her visual style - is it all her? Who's her choreographer? I wish I knew these things.

FYI - New York Women in Film & Television has been celebrating film/TV costume designers since 2000. [nywift.org]

I call shenanigans on the Austin Powers costume. C'mon half of that outfit is the puffy shirt and we all know that it was clearly stolen from Jerry Seinfeld.

I used to work in set design for movies and tv. The whole industry is about the directors, the actors, and sometimes the soundtrack. No one gives a rat's ass most of the time. You have to have a very specific type show or movie to "break out". I used to work on Gossip Girl and it was all about the fashion. Hence why, Eric Daman is becoming famous. If Gossip Girl wasn't fashion oriented and just been another teen show like Gilmore Girls, no one would care. Some people work in movies and tv to get more on their resume. It's not like they're looking for fame behind the scenes.

I'm thinking of that scene in the Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep tells Anne Hatheway how her sweater evolved from fashion elite. While it kinda sucks that the inspiration behind the clothing isn't credited, in a lot of ways I think it's the nature of the beast--relatively easy to produce, really easy to copy, and styles go in and out very quickly.

All that said, is there REALLY a market for Austin Powers suits?!! Outside of Halloween?!
