Trayce Gigi Field - Costume Designer of Dead to Me, AJ and the Queen, Barb & Star

May 07, 2020 • Jessica Cohen • Episode 5

The Hurry Up & Wait Podcast is back with more fashion and style from costume designer, Trayce Gigi Field! Trayce’s credits include Dead to Me, AJ & the Queen, and the upcoming film Barb & Star, coming to theaters this summer.

Trayce always wanted to know where actors got their clothes, so she studied at FIDM. When she was working a retail job at Contempo Casuals, she would ask anyone shopping for a show how they got started. Months of asking questions to anyone who would listen paid off, when she got an interview to be a costume PA for the television show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

Her first job as a PA was crucial, because that is where Trayce watched what everyone did, and how they did it. In this episode, Trayce really dives into the importance of starting from the bottom and working your way up, getting your foot in the door, paying your dues, and the most important thing of all: having a positive attitude.

Tune in to learn more about:

+ How to get your foot in the door
+ The design job process, and Trayce’s typical day as a costume designer
+ How to find and style vintage pieces
+ How to stay organized and get it done, even when working multiple jobs
