How to Get Away with Murder/ABC
From StyleBlazer
If Olivia Pope is any indication, we have a feeling that Annalise Keating’s (Viola Davis) wardrobe on “How To Get Away With Murder” will start to get noticed as well. And judging from the first few episodes (body-conscious dresses, fitted leather, nonexistent suits), Annalise’s fashion mirrors her personality: dark, mysterious and sultry. We recently spoke with Linda Bass, costume designer for “How To Get Away With Murder,” on selecting Annalise and the rest of the cast’s looks on the show and what we can expect from the rest of the season (she was pretty tight-lipped!) In the meantime, we’re excited about to see what else is in store for Annalise and the rest of the cast as their characters (and closets) develop.
Linda Bass: I didn’t do the pilot episode but I did the rest of the season. The wardrobe is story driven. Annalise is pretty provocative and powerful. If her wardrobe changes, it’s because her story changes. Viola will never wear a suit and blouse! She’s a little more powerful.
SB: How do you ensure that the looks fit Annalise’s personality as well as her profession?
LB: I always read the script and meet with the creator. We’ll discuss where she [Annalise] is in the scene. It’s really story driven.
SB: Do you work closely with the makeup and hair team to ensure her beauty looks complements her outfits? Which is usually decided first?
LB: The wardrobe fitting is first, and then hair and makeup does their thing. I try to let hair and makeup have complete ownership but if I think something doesn’t work hair or makeup wise, I will suggest making changes.
