The newly appointed Gap creative director designed the sumptuous looks seen in episode three of the Ryan Murphy series.
is getting mixed reviews. Some are applauding the FX series for its subdued, somber tone and the unexpected exploration of heavier themes such as discrimination, abuse, and aging. Others feel the angle of a cautionary tale—in the case of Capote’s issues with drugs and alcohol, especially—does not lend itself well to the story, that the time period and nature of a Murphy production demand more of a sexy, stylish spin, while for the most part,is painted in realistic beiges and grays.
So while Eyrich and her team are responsible for every other look seen in the eight episode series , we have Posen to thank for the creations shown on C.Z., Slim, Babe, and Lee, as well as Katherine, Ann Woodward, Joanne Carson, and Capote’s apparition of his mother, Lillie, portrayed by Jessica Lange. For the most part, the costumes were recreations—updated versions of the actual pieces these women wore to the ball all those decades ago.
To begin, Posen had the idea to assign each woman a “bird at the ball on the lake.” Ann Woodward, for example, was given the sparrow. The character, portrayed by Posen’s longtime friend Demi Moore, was a party crasher in the episode, one who receives quite the tongue-lashing by Capote in front of her peers. Posen wanted the costume to depict her fragility in the moment, so he designed a “psychedelic egg-like raincoat,” decorated in crystals and feathers that matched her elaborate headpiece.
