Curatorial context
The golden age of television series is marked by a perfect fusion of cinematic artistry and entertainment. Beyond compelling scripts, charismatic characters, and strong performances, the costume and set design, along with the soundtrack, play a significant role in captivating audiences. In recent years, costume designers, stylists, and designers for television series have become prominent figures in the artistic landscape, gaining recognition in fashion magazines and specialized media.
While the phenomenon of series dates back to the late 1970s, figures like Patricia Field, known for her work on 'Sex and the City', paved the way for other recognized costume designers such as Janie Bryant ('Mad Men'), Susannah Buxton ('Downton Abbey'), Gabriella Pescucci ('The Borgias'), Michele Clapton ('Game of Thrones'), and Eduardo Castro ('Once Upon a Time'). These professionals support character creation and development, with their work occasionally transcending fictional narratives to influence runway trends. This conference aims to shed light on these pivotal creative roles within the television industry.
