CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE (Costume Designer) drew inspiration for his design career while putting together looks for he and his dance partner on the beloved “American Bandstand.” He then started working at the trendy boutique Camp Beverly Hills where he began cultivating a clientele of actors, directors and, most importantly, Costume Designers. Christopher caught his first break in the wardrobe department on two iconic television series, “Moonlighting” and “Pee Wee's Playhouse.” He then decided that designing feature films was his true passion, and he quickly developed relationships with some of the world's most celebrated Designers such as Ellen Mirojnick and Albert Wolsky. Before he knew it, Christopher had created his path in features, working on such films as “City Slickers,” “Beaches” and “Bugsy,” the latter of which garnered the Academy Award® for Best Costume Design. Christopher came up through the ranks in the wardrobe department and quickly became one of the industry's top Costume Supervisors. In 1999, Michael Mann recognized Christopher's talent and promoted him to Associate Costume Designer on “The Insider” (Al Pacino, Russell Crowe), and Christopher has been designing films ever since. Some of the credits that followed were “The Anniversary Party” (Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Kline), “Showtime” (Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy) and “S.W.A.T.” (Colin Farrell, Samuel L. Jackson). Christopher has become a favorite of Jason Statham, having designed “The Mechanic,” “Cellular” and “Crank” and is a longtime collaborator with film director Simon West, most notably on the Capital One “What's In Your Wallet?” Viking campaign, which won the Costume Designers Guild Award - Best Commercial Costume Design. Christopher teamed up yet again with Michael Mann on two additional projects, including the feature film “Texas Killing Fields” (starring Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Chloe Grace Moretz). Christopher served as costume designer on the Jennifer Aniston film, “Management,” and from sketch to fabric he designed all of Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana costumes for “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” from which dolls, Halloween costumes and sportswear were created for the tween market. “The Space Between Us” reunites Christopher with director Peter Chelsom who directed the Hannah Montana movie. Christopher was the costume designer for the first three seasons of the popular Showtime series “Ray Donovan,” for which he was twice nominated for a Costume Designers Guild award. It was his fifth nomination, having won twice for his commercial work. Recently, he was the Costume Designer for Bill Burr's OLD DADS.
This week on The Treatment, Elvis sits down with actress, comedian, and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Susie Essman. The acclaimed HBO comedy ended its 12-season run earlier this year and Essman's here to reflect. Next, actor John Leguizamo stops by to talk about his new series The Green Veil — available via the new (free) streaming service, The Network. And for The Treat, Oscar nominated costume designer Ellen Mirojnick talks about an incredibly stylish movie that captivated her as a child.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 89 - ELLEN MIROJNICK - COSTUME DESIGNER Costume designer Ellen Mirojnick (OPPENHEIMER, WALL STREET, FATAL ATTRACTION) joins us on this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. A born and bred New Yorker, Ellen jumped right into costume design on a low-budget feature in New Orleans where she quickly (and easily) took to the role as the department head. She later spent two films working and studying under famed costume designer Sandy Powell before being recruited by director Adrian Lyne to work on FATAL ATTRACTION (one of many films in which she would work with actor Michael Douglass). During our discussion of OPPENHEIMER, Ellen shares the notes she received from director Christopher Nolan that informed her approach to the design of the film's costumes and reflects on the challenge posed by needing to design costumes that could be shot in black-and-white in one setup and in colour in the next. Ellen also reflects on the challenge of designing the film's costumes to seamlessly reflect changes in time without losing the characters across numerous decades of story. Towards the end, we discuss the importance of creating costumes that are not only right for the period, but right for the actors who need to wear them. - This episode is sponsored by Godox

"Oppenheimer" has been the toast of the 2023-2024 awards season, receiving a leading total of thirteen Academy Award nominations and winning (as of this writing) the Critics Choice and Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture. Christopher Nolan's latest masterpiece is a technical behemoth where every department worked at the top of their game to bring J. Robert Oppenheimer's story to life on the largest scale possible, impressively shot in IMAX. The Next Best Picture team was fortunate to speak with many of the Oscar-nominated craft members throughout this awards season. First, we have my interview with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, followed by Brendan Hodges' interview with the film's editor, Jennifer Lame, and sound designer, Richard King. Then we have Will Mavity's interview with makeup and hairstylist Luisa Abel. We then go back to Brendan for his talk with production designer Ruth De Jong, and we finally end with Will again speaking with costume designer Ellen Mirojnick. Each has a story to tell; each gave this movie everything they had. We hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the film, which is now available to stream on Peacock and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards.

The wardrobe which she created for the character of Gordon Gekko inspired a fashion trend in the late 1980s and early 1990s for boldly patterned ties, sleek suits, crisp white shirts, and colorful suspenders in men's business wear. She has also been a frequent collaborator of directors Jan de Bont and Paul Verhoeven, acting as costume designer on de Bont's films Speed (1994), Twister (1996) and The Haunting (1999), as well as Verhoeven's films Basic Instinct (1992), Showgirls (1995), Starship Troopers (1997) and Hollow Man (2000).

In 2017 she gained further praise for her work on The Greatest Showman, which garnered her a further nomination for Excellence in Period Film with the Costume Designers Guild. Sharon Stone has praised her experience with Mirojnick on Basic Instinct: “I don't think I had any idea, really, that I could look so great. Then I was like, "‘Oh, I could look like that all the time. Maybe I should get with it.'" Ellen really taught me how to feel empowered like the character I was playing.”

Edited highlights of our full conversation. This week's guest is Ellen Mirojnick, the award winning costume designer. During her career she's worked with directing greats, from Steven Soderbergh, to Ridley and Tony Scott to Oliver Stone. She's the reason the name Gordon Gekko immediately conjures an image in our mind, and why Bridgerton swept millions of viewers off their feet. Ellen turns costumes into characters. How she does that is worth thinking about for every leader. Over the last few months on this podcast, we've been talking a lot about empathetic, sensitive leadership. About building trust and displaying vulnerability. Not any of which are words to attach to Gordon Gekko, the anti-hero of Oliver Stone's Wall Street. Gordon Gekko was greedy, immoral, self-obsessed. Labels that fit some of today's leaders but are probably not descriptions that you aspire to if you're listening to this podcast. Which brings up the all important question. How do you want to be described? Each of us play multiple roles in our lives. In every relationship, we have to decide which parts of ourselves we bring center stage and which we move into the wings. Which personality traits, which characteristics, which areas of expertise should be prominent and which should take a back seat in that moment. In our private lives, there's - usually - more forgiveness and more latitude. But in our leadership roles, when we are confused or inconsistent about how we show up, we run the risk of being misunderstood or worse misrepresented. And the consequence of that inconsistency is an erosion of trust and confidence from everyone around you. The best leaders are clear about the attributes they want to be known for and then turn them into a character that shows up, consistently, every day. Strategic, empathetic, ambitious, risk-taking, disruptive, loyal, creative, sensitive, rule-breaking. The choices are yours. And as long as they are true to who you really are, you'll have the foundations of a leadership character that can draw people with you on the journey and will have people remember the impact you made long after the final credits have rolled.

No one on the planet can have missed the mass hysteria created over Bridgerton, Shonda Rhimes' Netflix show. If you're one of the rare people who haven't watched it, I urge you to do so, it's a sort of new Gossip Girl meets Jane Austen, offering visually compelling escapism set around a fictional high society in London's Regency era, dancing at ostentatious balls and dances, sipping tea in empire-waist gowns, and reading gossip about the night before, written by an anonymous columnist named Lady Whistledown. Now, there was a craving for jewellery during the Regency era, fuelled in part by the Prince Regent's insatiable appetite for jewels and the endless whirl of social events. The spectacular costumes in Bridgerton include royalty-worthy gems, which have set the sales of early 19th century style jewellery spiking - due to my guests today. I'm delighted to welcome Ellen Mirojnick, the legendary Emmy-winning American costume designer, and Lorenzo Mancianti, jewellery and prop designer, who was in the wardrobe department knocking up tiaras by the dozen.
