Step back in time with 'The Gilded Age' costume designers on 'Guests and Gusto'
Join costume designers Kasia Walicka-Maimone and Isabelle Simone for an unraveling of the more than 5,000 custom-designed looks seen throughout the first season of the HBO Max series The Gilded Age. Magnificent textiles and stunning details allow Walicka-Maimone and Simone’s costume designs to tell the complicated story of feuding class hierarchy caused by socioeconomics and the clashing of old and new money in New York’s post-industrial boom. Listen as they share the inspirations and references behind their authentic character looks.
