—and, of course, the embattled pop star front and center, brought to glimmering life by Depp. Earlier this week, before the final episode hits streaming on Sunday, our editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg called Thomas to find out what it was like to style the show of the summer.NEWMAN-THOMAS: I’m ok. I’m in this weird house built into the side of a boulder in a valley shooting a film.to live in a house built into a boulder but I don’t know if it’s for me.
OTTENBERG: It often happens like that, when you don’t have time to see the reaction to the psycho shit you’ve been doing. I get it. OTTENBERG: Oh, wow. So if you had three weeks of prep, what was the reality? Jocelyn is the kind of character that, as a costume designer, you want to do everything perfectly. But getting thrown into it like that, how did you do it? Because she looks really good.
NEWMAN-THOMAS: That’s kind of the goal, to make her a totally unique non-referential, icon pop star. Because that’s the thing about pop stars, they’re all individual and create new identities. But I mean, all kinds of vintage runway. There were lots of references, but it really just came together in the fittings.NEWMAN-THOMAS: Oh, that’s Didu.NEWMAN-THOMAS: I’m glad you like it. There was a ton of nineties Chanel on the mood boards but then we ended up not being able to get any Archive Chanel.
NEWMAN-THOMAS: That was a one-and-done. That was something that I kind of co-designed and had fabricated and he actually went totally MIA and it was a really scary process because that was what we signed off on. I had as close to a meltdown as I can have, DMing, texting, calling, emailing, having my whole team call him and it was just crickets for 24 hours. And then he did finally appear with the piece. But it was pretty scary.NEWMAN-THOMAS: Yeah, it’s 3D-printed.
