Summer 2018 The Costume Designer 45 CD Mandi Line's Travelers and Charmed team dressed as the villians of Travelers On the heels of wrapping up Netflix's sci-fi series Travelers, CD Mandi Line is excited to be jumping right onto The CW reboot of Charmed. And in an example of how crazy life is, Line used to be the set costumer for the original Charmed, now she's the Costume De- signer! The new version of the series, starring Madeleine Mantock, Melonie Diaz, and Sarah Jeffery as three sisters who just happen to be witches, is Line's fourth project with showrunner Carter Coving- ton and producer Nellie Nugiel. She also designed Greek, Faking It, and Ten Things I Hate About You with them. Filming in Los Angeles with a star-studded cast headed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood takes place in 1969 at the height of hippie Hollywood and the Charles Manson murders. CD Arianne Phillips says, "I am thrilled to be working with Quentin Tarantino, who has been on my dream di- rector list for over two decades. And grateful and humble to be following in the footsteps of previous Costume Designers and bril- liant colleagues Courtney Hoffman, Sharen Davis, Mary Claire Hannan, and Betsy Heimann." IN FOCUS BOLDFACE NAMES BFN - WORK Compiled and written by: Bonnie Nipar, bnipar@cdgia.com Stacy Ellen Rich, lastace@mac.com CD Christopher Hargadon (center) and The Umbrella Academy crew Where does one go to find a domineering patriarchal scientific genius, a genetically altered chimpanzee butler, and a robotic '50s-style mom, all living under one roof? To The Umbrella Acad- emy of course, the Netflix comedy/drama, starring Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, and Mary J. Blige. Add to this, a unique blend of mismatched adopted adult siblings, groomed throughout childhood to expand upon their individual superpowers, and this dark and funny brain- child of former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and illustrator Gabriel Ba comes to life. Page takes center stage as Vanya, the violin virtuoso capable of destroying the planet, and Blige fills the boots of the sociopathic, time-traveling assassin ChaCha. CD Christopher Hargadon was given free rein to design and build a myriad of looks bouncing between the 1955 Assassin HQ, 1928 Chicago, an apocalyptic future, and a somewhat warped present day, always striving to retain the rich flavor of the graphic novel. Filmed in Toronto over one of the longest winters to date, Hargadon says, "Both actors and crew were absolute troopers." CD Lorraine Carson just wrapped the exciting National Geo- graphic/STX Entertainment miniseries Valley of the Boom, recre- ating 1993-1999 in the rise, fall, and rebirth of Silicon Valley. This limited premium hybrid series blends the creative vision of writer/ EP Matthew Carnahan with a dedication to an authenticity only pre- mium documentary storytelling can provide. It aims to harness both disciplines—scripted and unscripted—to create a new format, one that delivers never-before-told access to the true story of the Valley, and folds that truth into a character-based scripted drama. By blend- ing scene work with interviews and archival footage, it follows three storylines that alter the course of modern history—a technological and financial revolution as told by the people who lived it. With a cinematic feel and setting, Valley of the Boom should transport an audience to the not-so-distant past with stories they won't believe they've never heard before.
