Behind the Seams w/ Arsema Thomas and Costume Designer Lyn Paolo

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the rich tapestry of image, representation, and self-expression with the brilliant Arsema Thomas. Join us as we explore Arsema's personal journey, navigating the complexities of growing up with media that often plays down the infinite array of womxn, breaking free from archetypes, and the empowering thrill of following one's true self all the way to Paris.   Later, we shift our focus to costume designer Lyn Paolo, whose iconic designs have left an indelible mark on screens over the past two decades. We explore Lyn's creative process, uncovering the artists and cultural events that fueled her vision for Queen Charlotte costumes. We also chat about the significant role her work plays in reshaping narratives and celebrating the beauty and resilience of Shondaland characters.   Join us for two conversations about the power of image, representation, and the transformative experience of embracing one's own crown. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
