Tears and Trousers for The Color Purple (2023)

Welcome to our Francine Jamison-Tanchuck fan podcast! Listen to us delve into Francine's beautiful, brilliant costume design for The Color Purple (2023) and her career coming full circle after working on the original 1985 film with costume designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers. (We discussed Francine's work before for our Boomerang and Low Down Dirty Shame episodes.) Shug Avery (Taraji P. Henson) and wide-leg trousers are the gems from this episode, but we loved every bit of this movie, even if we cried! Watch this powerful story about sisterhood, then tune in to our episode! Other topics include Blaire and Marie's matching Delia's pinstripe overalls, an update from our Barbie episode (Peaches 'n Cream), "Channel suspenders," and more.
