“It was a daunting challenge to paint this artist’s voice correctly,” says New York-based costume designer Jeriana San Juan of recreating the aesthetic of iconic American designer…

Not unlike Halston, who was known for “his infamous black turtleneck and trousers,” San Juan dresses “almost exclusively in black or black and white and that’s in part because when I’m working, I’m dressing in a functional way and I really want the actor to be the focal center of the fitting room.

I think it’s something I grew up with and I did not always have all the means. And yet my grandmother who immigrated here from Cuba and didn’t have much money was one of the most fashionable people I can imagine. She just styled herself in such a way and made money of her own clothes. She was very self-inventive and I think I model myself after that.
San Juan is also a proponent of eco-conscious shopping, hence her preference for vintage over fast fashion. “That’s been an important message, in seeing just how destructive the fashion industry can be to our environment. I always want to spread the message that style doesn’t mean buying a million new tops every season. It’s something about finding one great one and something that you can reinterpret a thousand ways and will stay with you for years.
“When Pajamas are a lifestyle,” says San Juan. “Ally Bird Vintage has been an up-and-coming vintage star in NY and I love buying pieces from her to support. Lately I’ve been collecting summer vintage pajamas that I will wear as separates or even together with a great pair of modern sandals. I find that vintage clothes have wonderful details and I appreciate the positive environmental impact.”
