Costume Designer Nina Ayres Brings the Magic to 'Carnival Row' Season Two
The Art of Costume: In the epic final season of Carnival Row, love and loyalty are tested as Vignette and Philo find themselves on different paths as they try to save the row. Their struggle and that of the row are beautifully brought to life by the cast, crew, and the incredible costumes of Carnival Row designed by Emmy award-winning costume designer Nina Ayres. I spoke with Nina about Carnival Row and the incredible costumes she designed for season two.

I clicked on this article because Carnival Row I really liked the first season and how the costume designer designed the costumes. The reason I really liked this article was because they really went through her process and the make up designers process and how she managed her shop during this time whether she talked about color and dye samples and fabric choices. I found it very interesting. I also really liked how they showed the collaboratives' that needs to go on with a show like this and how she changed them based around season two. I also really liked how Tourmaline’s wardrobe reflected the new path that she was on through her character through her costume. I think this was really smart in the way of how they did her makeup as well, and how they accessorized her costume like said, in the article. I also really like how they talked about the fabric choices throughout the article because I feel like that’s a really important thing as a designer and it shows the level of conformity she wanted throughout the costumes
This was a really great formal, extensive and educational interview that showcase to me how in depth the costume design process can go and how every season a designer does of a show is connected despite the outcomes and looks of the previous season. This article really expressed dramaturgy that is utilized within the costume designer field, and how we also have to be very analytical of the productions that we are working on. As this aids in establishing the overall identities and looks within the shows. I really appreciate designers such as Nina Ayres because you can tell how much love and thought goes into their costume work. Though I have not seen Carnival Row. This interview alone shows me how much effort time and passion that went into creating this show and I am not interested in watching it. I will also be looking out for more work by this designer.
