Ty Hodges: In Truth
As Polonius suggests in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “Apparel oft proclaims the man”–telling us everything about someone’s taste, social status, and character. A movie’s costume designer must do even more–completely convincing us an imaginary world is real. Whether we are watching an intimate family scene among members of the British royal family at Buckingham Palace in 1950s London, or witnessing brave men with broad swords on a battlefield fighting to retake the 8000-year-old Winterfell castle from the nefarious bastard lord Ramsay Bolton.

I loved it, as it opened up my world a bit. I found it very restricting in the design aspect, but there I met an amazing woman whose name was I believe Mrs. Hill— she was extremely elegant yet warm and encouraging, and she spoke about Zandra Rhodes and other designers of the time and of Costume Style. I had never had these discussions before, no one I knew had any idea about such things. I also met a Theology student called Sasha Bradell, who was wonderfully eccentric, and we formed a company called Perspiration de Paris! We designed mad punk clothes. Following my time at Oxford, I went to London and took a three- year course at London College of Fashion. Again, I found the course at times incredibly frustrating and restricting. If I had known at the time, I would have chosen a different route or college, but I just didn’t know of alternativ
