This week, TFACD is excited to be hosting the lovely and talented costume designer Joseph La Corte to the show! We talk about starting in theatre and his first jobs in New York (working nearly 24 hours a day on two projects at once!), his family history of sewing and tailoring, the love for The Wizard of Oz, his homemade Grease 2 costume made out of unusual materials, and much more. We do a deep dive on his process for Fellow Travelers and how on earth he sourced and built all those pieces!

Following his passion for costume design, Joseph La Corte has worked on some of the most iconic projects in film and television. From period and fantasy costumes, to contemporary clothing, Joseph brings his fine-tuned attention to detail and unbridled enthusiasm for design to all of his work.

Joseph has worked on some of the most iconic shows in television. He also designed the costumes for the new ground-breaking limited series Fellow Travelers for Showtime/Fremantle, Fellow Travelers created by Academy Award Nominee Ron Nyswaner. Joseph received his fourth Emmy Nomination for his work on the critically acclaimed FX series Fosse/Verdon. His talents can also be seen in many HBO series including The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Vinyl, and Divorce. Other notable television credits include Saturday Night Live, Law and Order: SVU and the Sci-Fi series from Amazon: Tales From the Loop. Joseph also designed the costumes for the acclaimed Fx series Under the Banner of Heaven created by Dustin Lance Black.

His feature film dossier is no less impressive. Joseph recently contributed his expertise to the Academy award-nominated film Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri. Other notable film projects include Bel Ami, All the Kings Men, Sex and the City 2, and School of Rock. Whether the project calls for a modern sensibility, or an interpretation of the past, Joseph brings a true sense of authenticity to every costume he designs.

Joseph's work has taken him to such diverse locations as Japan, Morocco, France, England, and Hungary, as well as much of the United States and Canada. Joseph is happiest when working and creating and is always looking forward to new costume design adventures that may lie ahead.
