I have a newfound appreciation for costume design especially in theater. I loved Ruth Carter's sense of responsibility and pride. I loved how she wanted to bring so many ideas, concepts, and people to the stage, the screen. Especially the runaway slaves ad ??
While people talked about how her costumes felt like clothes they were comfortable and confident in, I admired her perspective about our clothes and outfits being costumes and helping with the persona we are trying to put on and show the world.
There really was this sense of exploration and playing around in Ruth Carter's process. I liked when she said that she did not trust her subconscious, it was quite different from other "successful people" talking about instinct and gut feel. As an aspiring artist, that's a mindset I've been trying to instill in myself so that I would always look at everything as if for the first time then study them to be able to capture and represent them how I perceived them. She really was dedicated to her craft. I have to check her filmography out !
I loved the art direction (?) In this episode as well. They really played in on the costume designer/actor thing with Ruth dressed up in front of a screen, and the paper doll switcheroo thing.
