When Specialization Meets Collaboration — The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

There’s a reason show business is often called “magic.” It takes teamwork and a shared vision to create new worlds that entertain and delight. On a big-budget production like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” the clothing alone is a powerful storytelling vehicle. But the sets, lighting, and camera work that complement the custom-made costumes for each actor help bring this world to life. In this episode, we talk with the visual design team of Amazon’s Emmy Award-winning series (which just completed its fifth and final season) — Costume Designer Donna Zakowska and Cinematographer David Mullen. They share the complexities of a large team working together to create historically accurate scenery and wardrobes for a diverse cast of characters.
