True Blood’s costume designer Audrey Fisher spoke with Real Style about dressing the True Blood actors.
Real Style: Who’s your favorite character to dress for and why?
Audrey Fisher: I don’t have a favorite character to dress, because each character, from Sookie to Pam to Lafayette, has a unique style, and it’s always such fun to find the look for a specific scene and discover the costume that the script requires for that character’s journey.
Real Style: How do you style Sookie? What do you take from the novel’s descriptions?
Audrey: In the beginning, I liked to use actual references from Charlaine Harris’ books, and that language of clothing helped to form the backbone of Sookie’s “look”. And I still love to stick with the iconic basics for Sookie, because even though she’s grown so much through the seasons, those basics still suit her character so well: classic pieces in pretty floral prints, feminine silhouettes…and this season she’s more sensual than ever!
Real Style: What’s it like dressing the hottest bodies in Hollywood? Any good stories to tell?
Audrey: It’s a dream because the clothes fit so beautifully! No good stories as a discreet costume designer never fits and tells!
Real Style: What’s the best part of designing for True Blood?
Audrey: The best part? The on-going creative challenge of having to dress small town Bon Temps locals while also creating costumes for historical flashbacks, sexy vampires, and “bloody” stuntwork. Each script is an exciting surprise!
