"I was recently contracted to work at the Metropolitan Opera in the costume department on shows like Don Giovanni and La Bohème. The theater is quite different from fashion. The designers try not to make new clothes as much as possible because the shows happen every year; they want to alter the clothes they have and tailor them to new performers. Sometimes, for pants, they use fake buttons and then add some elastic so they can be easily put on and taken off."
"An actress reached out to me for her upcoming movie premiere, so I'm looking for some swatches I could use for the look I'm creating. It's going to be a combination of upcycled pieces and something I'll make from scratch."
"Speaking of pants, do you think the wide-leg trend will last? They look good, but I think it's time to let go of them. I don't think skinny jeans will come back. Maybe the change will be straight pants or bell-bottoms."
Chul Park was contacted by an actress to assemble swatches for a movie-premiere look combining upcycled pieces with garments made from scratch. Park recently worked at the Metropolitan Opera in the costume department on productions such as Don Giovanni and La Bohème, where designers prioritize altering and tailoring existing clothes rather than creating new costumes for recurring shows. The costume process includes practical modifications such as replacing buttons with elastic for easy dressing. Park assesses contemporary silhouettes and believes the wide-leg trend should fade, expects skinny jeans not to return, and suggests a shift toward straight pants or bell-bottoms.
