Fashionista: The incredibly cool Los Angeles-based costume designer and wardrobe stylist (who has worked with artists like Billie Eilish, Sky Ferreira and brands like Kenzo and Rodarte) already knew producer Jonathan Wang from commercial work. He introduced her to Daniels, and the three immediately bonded.

In my opinion, Michelle Yeoh (杨紫琼) is truly a legendary actress. This article was achingly beautiful for me to read, talking extensively about Shirley Kurata’s costume design choices around the “immigrant Asian mom culture” that is one of the central focuses of Yeoh’s new film, “Everything Everywhere All At Once”. Kurata is an Asian American LA-based designer and stylist whose statement on the personal importance of working on a film with proper Asian representation echoed very deeply with me; seeing the shots of Yeoh in character and reading about Kurata’s creative thoughts processes for Yeoh’s costume design in particular felt extraordinarily authentic. This is representation done right; Kurata is not only someone who is very familiar with the stylistic culture of LA’s Chinatown, but she also worked closely with writer and director Daniel Kwan, who has personally been through the Chinese American immigrant lived experience, to develop the outfits of the film’s Asian characters and is thus able to produce an incredibly accurate representation of it on screen.
