alongside personal mementos collected over the years. The space functions not only as a workshop, but as a living archive of his work. Working alongside Nakhla is Paern Maker & Fier Syros Roshandel, who has collaborated with the FOX team on and off for the past six years. With a shared background and union history, Roshandel and Nakhla bring a deep level of experience and mutual respect to the room. Roshandel approaches each project with the same level of care, noting, "I treat every project with the same degree of aention—whether it's a T-shirt or a period garment." During the height of the COVID 19 pandemic, the FOX Tailor Shop became an unexpected production hub. When protective equipment was in short supply, Nakhla brought in Roshandel and fellow tailor Anucha Pucksanontachai (Cha) to produce masks for organizations in need. Together, the team worked at an extraordinary pace, producing dozens of masks daily to support communities facing critical shortages. Over the years, the FOX Tailor Shop has supported a wide range of productions filmed on the FOX lot and beyond. From long-running series such as Bones and House, M.D. to highly specialized custom builds, the team has handled everything from everyday alterations to complex, character-driven pieces. Nakhla recalls the breadth of the work simply: "Whatever was coming our way, we worked on it." Among the many highlights are specialty builds created for actors across film and television, including detailed replicas and highly individualized costumes. Nakhla has also stepped in front of the camera on multiple occasions, appearing in roles on productions such as New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, and Not Dead Yet, oen playing himself as a trusted tailor and a favorite of casts across many productions, bringing both authenticity and his real-world expertise to the screen. Today, the FOX Tailor Shop continues to support both in-house needs and outside productions, offering custom builds, alterations, and repairs with the same level of precision and care. Whether handling a simple adjustment or an elaborate design, the team brings a consistent level of crasmanship to every project. As Nakhla puts it, "I look forward to working with anybody.
