Pain Hustlers costume designer Colleen Atwood discusses crafting a "new money" look, how costume shows personality, and teases Beetlejuice 2.

Summary Liza Drake, a single mother and high school dropout, is at the center of the story in Pain Hustlers. As she struggles to support herself and her daughter, she lands a job with a failing pharmaceutical company in an old strip mall in Central Florida. Things take an unexpected turn when sales and Liza's lifestyle begin to skyrocket. However, this new success puts Liza in the hotseat of a federal investigation into a criminal conspiracy.

Colleen Atwood: Oh boy, that's a good formula, and we definitely utilized it. In this case, as they ascended in douchiness and wealth, Andy Garcia's character was sort of pretending to be old money, but not quite getting it right, like a little bit too many accessories, too much contrivance, not really comfortable in that world, but sort of pretending to be.

Colleen Atwood: I think that I sort of had some internal rules, and it was just what was out there in the market at the time. I didn't have time to really make a lot of costumes for this movie, nor the budget, so it was a lot of shop stuff. I think my rule in the beginning was really use thrift store clothes, Men's Warehouse, that kind of vibe, and then as they ascended going up market to a private boutique or some kind of shopping like that, like Neiman Marcus or somewhere like that.

Colleen Atwood: Yes, we have a comfortable relationship at this point. He's very trusting of my work and my ideas, so we talked about the characters a lot. Then, I showed him pictures from research of pharma, Central Florida, that part of America was pretty new to him. He'd never really seen it before. He went to school at George Washington, so he has lived in America, but he hasn't lived in Central Florida, so it was like, "Whoa, okay.
