Katina Danabassis : an anthropological approach of costume design, working with Celine Song and Lena Dunham

"I like the creative process. I like theorizing. I like meaning making, making meaning in small ways, because I think even if it's not super visible, I think it's felt that it creates intention."

In this episode, costume designer Katina Danabassis joins us live from New York to talk about the art of building characters through clothing.

With a background in anthropology, Katina approaches costume design as a form of visual anthropology, exploring the objects, textures and choices that reveal who we are.

She reflects on her work on films and series including Lady Bird, Booksmart, Euphoria and Past Lives, as well as the influence of mentors April Napier and Heidi Bivens.

We talk about naturalism, the patina of worn garments, the role of color and fabric, and the quiet details that give a character depth.

Katina also shares her thoughts on creative intuition, the “lightning strike” of an idea, and the collaborative process of turning a script into something visible, felt and alive.
