In this deeply human conversation, Hamnet costume designer Małgosia Turzańska opens up about creativity, vulnerability, and the profound emotional undercurrents that guided her work. She shares how a missed chemistry test led her to filmmaking, how one breathtaking Almodóvar film unlocked her understanding of costume design, and how she builds characters from raw instinct—starting with \"emotional lookbooks\" drawn from nature, texture, and intuition rather than pure historical rigor. Małgosia discusses designing Agnes (Anne) and Will from the inside out , using bark cloth , color symbolism , quilted protection , and slashed leather to reflect trauma, longing, generational wounds, and rebirth. She details working with director Chloé Zhao , describing a process fueled by continuous discovery, voice-memo inspirations, and a film family centered on empathy and emotional truth. The conversation grows especially moving as Małgosia describes losing her father during production, and how grief intertwined with the film's themes, becoming both a burden and a blessing. She reflects on collaboration, artistry as healing, and the myth that costume design is \"just decoration\"—revealing instead how costumes become storytelling engines. This intimate, vulnerable episode is a masterclass in creativity, symbolism, filmmaking, and the emotional backbone of collaborative art. The \"Voice of Costume\" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design.
