I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

We're going straight to the sequel for I Know What You Did Last Summer specifically for the presence of Ms. Brandy Norwood, and we're so glad we did! Costume designer Daniel J. Lester (Once Upon a Time, Spawn) put Brandy, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Co. in looks that are perfect for the film's tropical island setting. There may not be a ton of outfits in this late '90s slasher, but the ones we have are daaamn good. Even Marie, a typical beige-hater, loves J-Love's uber neutral 'fits. What are you waiting for???

In Fabric

​This week we have, maybe one of the most on brand movies ever, In Fabric. A surreal horror film, with costume design by Jo Thompson, about ​an "artery-red gown" that transforms the lives of the wearer. We loved it but nothing prepared us for the gowns home, the sales people, the twists, or that mannequin scene. You can hear the shock in our voices BUT everyone should absolutely see In Fabric! Trailer: https://youtu.be/biHUTtV4K40 From Jo Thompson: https://bit.ly/2ItavIQ
