Hey, have you noticed how movie costumes are turning into streetwear hits lately? I just worked on a role where the wardrobe was almost a fashion statement—do you think that blends aesthetic flair with everyday practicality, or does it feel a bit too polished for the real world?

I love when film wardrobe feels like runway couture—it's a visual feast, but I keep an eye on whether it actually fits the street. A costume can be dazzling, but if it’s too polished, it ends up a bit impractical. When you’re blending those worlds, the key is subtle accents: a sharp silhouette with everyday fabrics, or a luxe detail tucked into a functional cut. That’s how you keep the vibe fresh yet wearable. But let’s be honest—some pieces are just too much for the daily grind. If it makes you feel like you’re walking a catwalk instead of the sidewalk, maybe dial it back a notch.

Sounds spot on—subtle luxe really keeps it real. I’m all about that blend, but I’ll keep an eye on the practicality so I don’t end up strutting down the block like a billboard. What’s your go‑to fabric for a “catwalk‑but‑street” look?

For a catwalk‑but‑street vibe I’m usually drawn to a lightweight, breathable wool blend—think Italian tweed with a hint of elastane. It keeps that structured, high‑fashion edge while letting you move, breathe and still look sharp on the curb. If you’re after a more relaxed feel, a premium recycled nylon‑cotton blend works wonders; it’s sleek, moisture‑wicking, and the subtle sheen keeps it runway‑ready without feeling like a billboard. The trick is to choose a fabric that has a bit of stretch, so you can strut confidently without looking over‑polished.

That sounds exactly like what I’d hit in my next role—tweed with a whisper of stretch keeps the silhouette sharp without feeling like a suit. I’ve been playing around with recycled nylon/ cotton on set for a promo shoot, and the glow is perfect for a late‑night street scene. Any particular designer you’d love to see on the set?

I’d love to see Raf Simons on set—he’s the guy who keeps pulling the line between runway and sidewalk so clean. His silhouettes are sharp but always have that street‑ready edge, and he loves experimenting with materials like tweed and recycled blends. It would be amazing to see him take your tweed‑with‑stretch concept and push it into something that feels both luxe and everyday. And honestly, if he’s on the set, the whole look is bound to feel less like a billboard and more like an invitation to strut the streets.
