Summary
When Tony-nominated designer Emilio Sosa and creative powerhouse Julia Caston joined forces for Disney's Descendants: The Rise of Red , magic happened—literally. In this vibrant interview with host Catherine Baumgardner on The Voice of Costume , they reveal how two different worlds— Broadway spectacle and cinematic precision —collided to create the franchise's boldest visual universe yet. From Balenciaga-inspired gowns for Brandy's Cinderella , to hand-rhinestoned Doc Martens , to the challenge of designing for massive dance sequences and tight shooting schedules , Emilio and Julia open up about collaboration without ego, the " best idea wins " philosophy, and the delicate balance between storytelling, fashion, and fantasy . They share behind-the-scenes pivots, like redesigning Ursula's look mid-production, and discuss how hundreds of unseen artisans—from tailors to truck drivers—bring costume dreams to life. Full of laughter, candor, and craft secrets, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about costume design, filmmaking, Broadway, Disney, collaboration, and creative resilience .
