Costume designers Lou Eyrich and Analucia McGorty bring to life every chartreuse gown, feather boa and top hat that audiences see on the Ryan Murphy-created series.
“Pose,” the groundbreaking FX drama that centers on the vibrant LGBTQ New York ball scene of the 1980s and early ’90s, showcases a diverse group of performers in over-the-top, often gender-fluid costumes as they take part in glam competitions.
“I remember when we first started Season 1, Lou told me that Ryan’s goal was to make Pray Tell a fashion icon,” Porter says. “He wanted people to gravitate to Pray Tell because of his clothing, because of his style, and I think we’ve achieved that. There was a big DIY vibe during the actual 1980s New York ballroom scene. How does this factor into your costumes?We try to be true to the [original] balls. People did not have a lot of money nor big closets; they recycled a lot and found new and interesting ways to add and subtract. As designers we ourselves recycle a lot. It’s what they would have done, and we also recycle because of the amount of volume we have to create versus our budget; you get creative.
