On Set with Lou Eyrich (spoiler free)
Just a few costume-y soundbites from the flawless Lou Eyrich - check out the video (with Rachel, Quinn and LZ in their prom dresses) here. Still dying to see photos of Kurt dressed for prom, but it looks like we'll have to wait...
"Afternoon Delight was really fun, the number just killed me and it was fun to put that together - the vintage dresses and the boys in their matching little turquoise tops."
"That was also one of my favourites, Singing In The Rain. We wanted to take the vintage feel of Singing In The Rain on the boys, and then we also wanted a more modern feel for the Rhianna Umbrella song for the girls, so we mixed kind of the tweed pant, vest and knit tie for the boys to make them look kind of 40s looking and then we got shiny trenchcoats, shiny leggings and rain boots for the girls to make it a more modern look."
"I loved Kurt's cream and black tuxedo with the fringe that he wore for his solo for Victor/Victoria."
"For the Britney/Brittany episode, Ryan knew exactly which looks he wanted so we did a lot of research and really dug into the details of her costumes."
"The most fun was the black satin suit, but it had to have a lot of stretch because she had a very strenuous dance that she had to do so we finally ended up making it out of a stretch satin so she could really move."
"I think the hardest was the nude crystal suit just because it had to fit so tightly against her body, like no wrinkles, and be comfortable for her."
"Where Heather's in the red pleather suit with the boys dressed as little hoodlums, that particular scene I was proud of because our in-house tailor Sarah made the costume. She [Heather] just walked into it and zipped up and looked like a million bucks."
"Now that we've got the prom underway today and everyone's finally established I'm having fun. We had about 4 days to throw it all together and I know if it'd all work, but now I see it all and it's fun!"
