Woven Threads: Conversations with Costume Designers

My sixth episode is with John Bright. John runs Cosprop, a costume hire and making house in London, alongside being a Costume Designer. His ability to adapt and yet hold fast to what really matters comes across very clearly here, and I feel very glad to have recorded this conversation.

His film credits include:

The White Countess (2005)

The Golden Bowl (2000)

Onegin (1999) - with Chloe Oblensky

Sense and Sensibility (1995) - with Jenny Beavan

Howard's End (1992) - with Jenny Beavan

Maurice (1987) - with Jenny Beavan

Next Episode

The PC Williams episode

This is the first in a little mini-series I've decided to do where I focus on Costume Designers at the earlier stage of their career (although my interview with Lucille really belongs to the series too) This episode is with PC Williams: we talk about how her background in styling has informed her costume work, and the angle that it has given her on the Costume world as a whole.
