Costume designer Galer lambasts 'arrogant' TV producers
The Stage: "Galer, who was acclaimed for her work on BBC1’s Bleak House and created Richard E Grant’s coat in cult classic Withnail and I, said that the industry was in real trouble, due to a lack of investment in traditional skills and because many producers were “arrogant or naive” about how much costume-making costs."

That is definetly hard to hear as a costume design student, that the industry is in such peril. Though I feel part of it is her blowing off a little steam. I don't doubt however that her problems with producers are true. Its funny to me that the BBC with has so many period dramas wouldn't be aware of the importance and cost of costumes. I hope she is able to raise awareness.
