Episode 5 (New York) of The Vampire Lestat was definitely more work on the men's costumes. Lestat wore the red lounge suit a lot in the recording studio, he looked so good in that outfit.

Olena Fedorenko @luckylena777 made the waistcoat and trousers for Lestat and Marius . She also made thr wool cropped jacket and pants Louis... I loved that jacket! She also made the skirt for Gabriella that was partly ruched.

Emily Kowalik @emilykowalik made the red cassock for Marius, loved the buttons and button loop details that Lex had us use for this beautifully aged costume which is one of my favourites in this season of the show. And that 1940s style dress for Off Broadway Madeleine in the restaurant scene. I loved that dress, it looked so real (authentic).

Vivian Cheung @vi_cheung made the 1890s coat for Marius.

Int. Philadelphia Venue:

Sometimes it's not about the set (as much as I'd love to think otherwise). Sometimes the performance and other people's intentions/ideas/talents are what need to be highlighted. This was one of those cases.

We shot at an incredible concert venue in Toronto (@thedanforthmudichall) and our DP Earle Dresner and his team designed an amazing light show to compliment this particular song (Believe it or not, we actually tried to assign color palettes to each of the city on the tour).

As for the dressing room, I wish you all could have seen 360° in here (seeing only one wall was really 💔). I wanted this room to be thr "porn room". As a nod to the photography of Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Herb Ritts (the geniuses that defined an era of erotic, provocative, boundary-pushing fashion and glamour photography in the 80s). But alas, this is still AMC, so a PG version of it. Thoughtfully composed by graphic designer @jess.sheridan.illustration, and executed by art director @andrafaybutler1, this room needed to feel brazen and unapologetically sexual to match Lestat's "tittering on the edge" peak... But then again, none of this doesn't matter.

Lestat is what matters. And Rolin would say, "Eyes always on Lestat!" And in these particular scene, the coalescence of performance, costume, make-up, and hair is so wonderfully evident.

It was Sam's idea to wear pigtails in this scene. Such a brave choice to really bring home his "bratty" performance and perfectly executed by @stefanieterzo & @tamaraciraolo. @its_lexwood put him in pin stripe pants reminiscent of the ones he wore during Claudia's trial, with black and blue ribbons in his hair to remind us of Claudia's costume in the Theatre des Vampire. @tamilynnlane with eyeliner, pink rosy cheeks, baby doll lipstick, and glitter across his scars gave us such an unforgettable image of this crumbling "fucked up doll" prancing on stage. Such a contrast to Armand's morose muted tone.

I think this is the epidemy of the Brat Prince of Darkness.

Episode 4 (The Devil's Road) of The Vampire Lestat had some of my favourite costumes we made in this show, especially what we made for Gabriella from 1790 to 1804.

I have to say that her white shift and semi fully boned vintage silk floral stays are my favourite underpinnings I got to cut. It was quite tricky to have to pattern match 3 multiples because @its_lexwood Lex only had 2 yards of fabric for me to work with. @luckylena777 Olena Fedorenko made the shift multiples, @donutjimmy Madison Watson and @agennuso Ashley Gennuso tag teamed the 3 stays. There wad a lot of handwork, even the eyelets were hand sewn.

Olena also made Gabriella's redingote worn in the carriage and restaurant scenes, @vi_cheung Vivian Cheung made the skirt. I loved the fabrics, colours, and trims on the redingote, it wad so beautiful and authentic looking.

Olena and @emilykowalik Emily Kowalik tag teamed the green and burgundy outfit made for Gabriella in 1804... This was the last time she saw Lestat before abandoning him until 2025. This costume is almost pre-Regency style.

For the same beach scene in 1804, we made the brown frock coat with 3 multiples for heavy aging and distressing. Ashley and Emily tag teamed this build.

Olena also made the modern-day navy coat dress with a twisted collar for a peekaboo moment for Gabriella, and the red 2 piece lounge robe suit for Lestat at the recording studio.

We also made some shirts and pants for Louis and Armand in this episode.

Working with @jennifer_ehle Jennifer was a dream for me, cuttinh so many period and modern-day costumes for her character is one of the most satisfying experiences I have had as a cutter. I was such a fan boy that I finally got to get a picture taken with her... More to come in episode 5, 6, and 7.

The Devil's Road. It was the first phrase from any of them that had rung a clarion in the soul.
