Ep155 - Donna Zakowska, Costume Designer ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’

From an early age, Donna Zakowska had an appreciation for vintage fabrics. Her childhood love for clothing led to a fascination with dance, studies at Yale, and the overall joy of a collaborative art. As a costume designer, Zakowska’s credits include ‘Harriet the Spy,’ ‘Forces of Nature,’ ‘John Adams,’ ‘TURN: Washington’s Spies,” and the new Amazon hit, ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.’ In this interview, the costume designer talks about wardrobe as an intellectual activity, characters who say things about society, how to learn about character through wardrobe, dressing a world of characters, and how clothing brings Midge Maisel alive.
