From childhood fantasy to building entire worlds in fabric, this episode reveals how costume design becomes character, story, and emotion on screen. In this rich, intimate conversation, host Catherine Baumgardner sits down with acclaimed costume designer Marion Boyce to explore how imagination, research, and relentless craftsmanship shape unforgettable characters. Boyce reflects on her childhood spent in fantasy worlds, tracing a direct line from early play and family textile heritage to a career designing for some of the most visually ambitious period dramas in film and television. The discussion dives deep into her work on The Artful Dodger, unpacking how color palettes, fabric choices, and historical underpinnings communicate power, class, rebellion, and constraint—often before a character speaks a single word. Boyce reveals why books and primary visual references still matter more than fast online searches, and how accuracy in silhouette, corsetry, and underpinnings is essential to keeping an audience emotionally grounded. From designing crinolines that physically shape a character's movement, to using color as metaphor for grief, danger, and desire, Boyce explains costume as active storytelling—not decoration. She also opens up about the intense realities of production schedules, the pressure of massive builds, collaboration with directors and actors, and the personal cost of creative obsession. The episode becomes a masterclass in costume design, world-building, and the unseen labor that makes cinematic storytelling feel truthful and alive. https://www.marionboycecostume.com/ The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the boss costume. The version of leadership that shows up when someone feels like they need to posture, perform, or play a role instead of being themselves.   We explore what happens when leaders put on the boss costume and how it affects trust, communication, and connection on a team. While it may feel protective in the moment, posturing often creates distance and makes it harder for people to speak up or do their best work.   We also talk about how to lead without the costume. What authenticity actually looks like at work, how to balance authority with humanity, and how leaders can show up in ways that feel real and grounded.   From the employee perspective, we discuss what it feels like to work for someone who is posturing. From the manager perspective, we explore why people slip into the boss costume in the first place. And from the executive perspective, we talk about how authentic leadership shapes culture over time.   Have questions about this topic? Want to ask for advice from our team? Have a topic suggestion?

Il va devenir le plus jeune Premier ministre et le premier dirigeant ouvertement homosexuel. Aux Pays-Bas, Rob Jetten s'apprête à prendre les rênes du prochain gouvernement et il est notre Européen de la semaine. Ce centriste pro-européen a créé la surprise aux dernières élections d'octobre. Son profil détonne dans la vie politique néerlandaise.  38 ans, athlétique, un sourire permanent et un visage de star de cinéma. Le chef du Parti des réformateurs D66 n'a pas seulement gagné l'élection, il a aussi battu Geert Wilders, le leader de l'extrême-droite néerlandaise dont le parti dirigeait le précédent gouvernement. Pour l'emporter, Rob Jetten s'est inspiré d'un certain Barak Obama et son fameux « Yes, we can ». Un discours positif qui a marché. « Ce que Rob Jetten a fait, et ce que le parti a fait, c'est offrir une alternative à toutes ces forces négatives en politique », raconte Hans Vijlbrief, député du D66, réélu lors des dernières élections. « Il a raconté l'histoire des Pays-Bas, leur avenir possible. Il a insufflé un dynamisme nouveau à la société, ce qui nous a permis de remporter la victoire. C'est donc bien l'homme et son storytelling qui ont fait notre succès. » Il y aussi du Macron version 2017 dans Rob Jetten : même précocité, même dynamisme et même sourire. Rob Jetten a aussi profité de l'absence de Gert Wilders, invisible pendant la campagne à cause de menaces d'attentats. À lire aussiPays-Bas: après leur victoire aux législatives, les centristes se préparent aux négociations en vue d'une coalition Sprinteur et gendre idéal Rob Jetten n'a même pas 40 ans. On peut dire qu'il aime aller vite. Député à 30 ans. Chef du parti D66 un an plus tard. Ministre de l'Énergie et du Climat entre 2022 et 2024. Un sprinteur dans la politique mais aussi dans la vie. Rob Jetten est un athlète. Dans sa jeunesse, il était meneur d'allure, un « lièvre » en athlétisme. Et il s'est illustré pendant la campagne en participant à une émission télé de culture générale. Un intello sportif, un peu trop parfait à tel point qu'il a été surnommé « Robot Jetten ». « Au début, on l'appelait comme ça, mais je crois que très vite, les gens ont compris qu'il n'était pas du tout un robot, mais une personne très chaleureuse », assure le député Hans Vijlbrief. « Son image a complètement changé. Si vous demandez aux gens dans la rue, je pense qu'il est aujourd'hui l'une des personnalités les plus populaires de notre pays ». Costume cintré, bien coiffé, Rob Jetten est très présent sur Instagram, posant avec sa famille ou avec son compagnon, un joueur de hockey sur gazon argentin. Leur mariage est prévu l'été prochain. «En même temps» Son programme est une sorte de « en même temps » sur l'immigration. Il s'est engagé à consacrer davantage de fonds aux programmes d'intégration tout en voulant lutter contre l'immigration illégale en autorisant les demandes d'asile en dehors de l'UE. Et il a aussi fait de grandes promesses pour l'accès au logement - un vrai problème aux Pays-Bas. Il promet la construction de dix nouvelles villes. « La question du logement est très liée dans le débat politique aux Pays-Bas à la question de l'immigration, décrypte Koen Damhuis, maître de conférences en sciences politiques à l'université d'Utrecht. Si on est confronté à une situation de rareté de logement, comment est-il moralement acceptable, légitime d'ouvrir les frontières à des centaines de milliers de migrants chaque année ? ».  Rob Jetten a aussi essayé pendant la campagne de changer l'image élitiste de son parti et de parler aux électeurs d'extrême-droite. « Il a fait une tournée aux Pays-Bas et s'est rendu notamment dans les communes où l'extrême droite était très implantée, rappelle Hans Vijlbrief. Il faut aller à leur rencontre et tenter de répondre à leurs préoccupations, car ce sont des préoccupations tout à fait légitimes : où trouver un logement ? Comment faire face à la vieillesse ? Qu'en est-il des soins de santé ?». Rob Jetten a promis un nouveau gouvernement pour le mois prochain. Mais il devra composer avec un parlement où il n'a pas la majorité et où l'extrême-droite reste toujours aussi forte.

Histoire de 10 minutes racontée par Binyamin BENHAMOU.

A few months ago, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny guest hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” where he appeared in a skit as a Spanish nobleman from the Middle Ages wearing an inky blue robe with gold threading on the collar and sleeves. The costume he wore didn’t come from the show’s wardrobe department. Instead, it was shipped overnight by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Costume Rentals department in Talent.    As profiled in a recent article in Oregon ArtsWatch, for more than 20 years, OSF Costume Rentals has been making costumes and accessories that were created for its productions available to rent by local theater companies, academic institutions, film and photo shoots and TV shows like “SNL.” The vast digital inventory is searchable online and spans more than 30,000 costumes and accessories, from elaborate Elizabethan gowns and silky Regency dresses to velour smoking jackets and butterfly-collared shirts.    OSF Costume Rentals supervisor Celina Gigliello-Pretto and OSF Director of Productions Malia Argüello share how OSF is preserving its costumes and helping other productions reimagine their possibilities.

How do you hand-craft costumes for a nine-foot-tall alien—and then rebuild them digitally? Listen in to this episode about Avatar: Fire and Ash to hear how it's done. In this deep-dive conversation, legendary costume designer Deborah L. Scott (Avatar, Titanic, Back to the Future, E.T.) joins Catherine Baumgardner to unpack the astonishing creative process behind Avatar: Fire and Ash. Scott reveals how every Na'vi costume begins with story, environment, and research—then moves through hands-on workshops, material experimentation, and ultimately into the virtual world of VFX. They explore how Weta Workshop artisans, illustrators, and visual-effects teams collaborate to translate handcrafted garments—made from organic textures, carved elements, feathers, bone-like structures, and woven fibers—into believable digital performances. Scott explains why 3D printing is used sparingly, how movement in wind and water dictates material choices, and why tactile realism often beats high-tech shortcuts. The discussion expands into the design of new Na'vi clans, including the Wind Traders and the volcanic Fire/Ash clan, highlighting how climate, culture, color palettes, body art, hair design, and symbolism shape identity and storytelling. Scott also reflects on collaboration with James Cameron, creative intuition, trusting process over perfection, and why costume designers rarely receive royalties despite defining iconic characters. This episode is a masterclass in world-building, costume design, filmmaking collaboration, VFX integration, and creative resilience, offering invaluable insight for filmmakers, designers, and storytellers alike.  The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed South African production designer Sabrina Linder for an intimate biographical conversation about life, creativity, and the winding path that leads to a career in film. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human story behind the work. Sabrina Linder reflects on growing up in South Africa, the formative experiences that shaped her artistic sensibility, and how curiosity, resilience, and observation guided her toward a life in visual storytelling. From early influences and cultural identity to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate at the highest levels of film and television, Sabrina shares the moments that quietly — and sometimes unexpectedly — defined her career. Throughout the conversation, Sabrina opens up about navigating creative industries, finding confidence as an artist, and learning how to trust instinct over expectation. She discusses what it means to build worlds for the screen while simultaneously building a life, and how storytelling — whether through design or lived experience — remains at the center of her work. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, allowing space for reflection on ambition, self-doubt, mentorship, and the invisible labor behind creative success.

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed South African production designer Sabrina Linder for an intimate biographical conversation about life, creativity, and the winding path that leads to a career in film. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human story behind the work. Sabrina Linder reflects on growing up in South Africa, the formative experiences that shaped her artistic sensibility, and how curiosity, resilience, and observation guided her toward a life in visual storytelling. From early influences and cultural identity to the emotional intelligence required to collaborate at the highest levels of film and television, Sabrina shares the moments that quietly — and sometimes unexpectedly — defined her career. Throughout the conversation, Sabrina opens up about navigating creative industries, finding confidence as an artist, and learning how to trust instinct over expectation. She discusses what it means to build worlds for the screen while simultaneously building a life, and how storytelling — whether through design or lived experience — remains at the center of her work. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, allowing space for reflection on ambition, self-doubt, mentorship, and the invisible labor behind creative success. The result is a thoughtful portrait of an artist whose career is rooted not only in visual craft, but in empathy, memory, and lived experience. This episode will resonate with artists, filmmakers, designers, and anyone interested in the personal journeys behind creative careers, offering insight, honesty, and inspiration well beyond the screen.Sabrina's links:https://www.sabrinalindercreative.com/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9513117/ https://www.instagram.com/sabrina_linder_creative/ Fertile by Design on Substack - https://substack.com/@fertilebydesign Keywords / SEO Tags Sabrina Linder, South African production designer, AART podcast, Chris Stafford podcast, production designer interview, film industry careers, women in film, creative biography, artist life story, behind the scenes film, visual storytelling, art and cinema, creative journeys, film design careers, African artists in film, personal stories in art, creative identity, storytelling podcast, film and art podcast BIO South African born Production Designer Sabrina Linder is well known for her trademark work in I Swear 2025, Salvable 2025, The Last Victims (2019).  Her portfolio includes commercials, films, TV and music videos.

We sit down for our annual year-end conversation, reflecting on 2025 and mapping out intentions for 2026. The discussion moves between practical revenue planning and deeper questions about identity, authenticity, and what it means to build a creative life without losing yourself in the process.We explore the tension between chasing grandiose visions of success and learning to be present with who we actually are—people who source vintage records, make photographs, create videos, and build websites. The conversation touches on the difference between "playing the part" of a successful creator versus doing work that genuinely reflects our interests and values. We discuss building infrastructure: getting websites live, returning to photography, potentially publishing short stories, and establishing outlets for work that's been internal for too long. Both of us grapple with the pull of consumption and distraction versus the slower work of being present, disciplined, and engaged with the actual world.The episode ends on the idea of returning to being generalists rather than specialists—people with broad interests and connections across different areas of life, people who haven't traded their souls for narrow visions of achievement. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

In this episode of The Costume House, host Spencer Williams returns to the Grid with costume designer Christine Bieselin Clark, the creative force behind the haunting light suits and digital armor of Tron: Ares. Together, Spencer and Christine dive into how costume technology has advanced since Tron: Legacy, how she helped define the distinct visual language of the Dillinger Grid versus the ENCOM Grid, and the emotional weight behind designing for that pivotal scene with Jeff Bridges. They also unpack the process of creating the formidable, intimidating suits for Ares and Athena, worn by Jared Leto and Jodie Turner-Smith, balancing power, silhouette, and light in a world where costume is identity.----Christine Clark on Instagram: ⁠@christineclarkdesignSpencer Williams on Instagram: ⁠@hautespencer⁠Watch The Costume House with Spencer Williams now on YouTube.

She doesn't design clothes—she designs stories. 3-time Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan shares how storytelling, instinct, and courage—not fashion—have shaped a career spanning over 70 films. This episode focusing on her most recent film, The Choral. In this deeply inspiring conversation, Jenny reflects on growing up without television, building entire worlds from cardboard boxes, and how a single childhood encounter with Shakespeare set her life's direction. She traces her unconventional path from theatre and opera to film, revealing how saying yes to uncertainty—and embracing fear—became one of her greatest creative strengths. Together, Jenny and host Catherine Baumgardner explore the true role of costume design as invisible storytelling: creating characters audiences believe in without ever noticing the clothes. Jenny breaks down her process—from script analysis and historical research to building costumes in full 3D on mannequins—and explains why collaboration, humility, and learning every craft on the way up matter more than titles or awards. She opens up about working under extreme pressure on films like Mad Max: Fury Road and Cruella, why failure is essential to growth, and how leadership in creative fields is less about control and more about trust. Packed with life advice for artists, filmmakers, designers, and students, this episode is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and staying curious—no matter how far you've come. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design.
