When it comes to Boy Meets World, even our memories are draped in oversized flannels, wool blazers with elbow patches and vests layered over short sleeve shirts layered over long sleeve shirts. And one talented crew member to thank for those decisions in fashion is Emmy-nominated costumer Julie Yang Silver. The gang catches up with their pal from the wardrobe department to talk all about her legendary career amongst the clothing racks and their memories of hanging out in her trailer in between takes. Julie also shares her thoughts on the problematic clothing decisions for Danielle in Season 7 and some BTS moments from her time in Vegas for the movie Ocean’s Eleven, and in a galaxy far, far away for The Mandalorian.
