The Handmaid’s Tale's Ane Crabtree Deconstructs Costume Design & Dystopia

Emmy-nominated costume designer Ane Crabtree joins us to discuss one of our favorite shows -  The Handmaid’s Tale. Ane talks about the costume designs seen both on screen and its impact on politics. She explains her method of bringing a dystopian future to life, combining industrial design and psychological things like “no buttons and no zippers because it’s too salacious.” Ane talks about her feelings when she first saw a woman at a political rally utilizing her handmaid’s costume. She also shares her experiences working on Westworld, The Sopranos, Pan Am and the upcoming movie, The Last Thing He Wanted that was directed by Dee Rees and starring Anne Hathaway.

Plus: From Chipotle Babies to DIY Jellyfish, Alison and Jesse talk Halloween Wins & Fails…and we get a quote from a woman who dressed some of the most famous women in history from Grace Kelly to Jane Fonda to Katharine Hepburn to Audrey Hepburn to Ginger Rogers.
