00:01.700 --> 00:03.000
Hi, I'm Tricia Phillips.

00:03.000 --> 00:05.300
I'm costume designer for Star Trek Discovery,

00:05.300 --> 00:11.400
and we are here at the Paley Center.

00:11.400 --> 00:13.200
Doing the Enterprise costumes was one of the really

00:13.200 --> 00:14.600
great challenges we got to do

00:14.600 --> 00:16.900
our costume had a really good throw back to

00:16.900 --> 00:18.900
the original series with our caller the way it

00:18.900 --> 00:20.600
was with the angle and on the black.

00:20.600 --> 00:22.400
So it just has a really nice tip and

00:22.400 --> 00:25.500
it does definitely Echo That season I'm standing next

00:25.500 --> 00:26.800
to this thing

00:26.800 --> 00:28.600
because it's literally

00:28.600 --> 00:30.600
my favorite thing in the world

00:30.600 --> 00:32.700
and the bane of my existence.

00:32.700 --> 00:34.900
It's why I don't eat food.

00:34.900 --> 00:36.400
It's white

00:36.400 --> 00:38.600
and it's spandex

00:38.600 --> 00:40.300
can actors dream

00:40.300 --> 00:41.300
the talosians.

00:41.300 --> 00:43.500
This were really cool species that we got to

00:43.500 --> 00:46.200
do, you know reimagining them from the TOs and

00:46.200 --> 00:47.600
that the original pilot

00:47.600 --> 00:49.300
my first design one of the notes I got

00:49.300 --> 00:51.400
from Alex was to try to you know, look

00:51.400 --> 00:53.200
at the original things and revamp them.

00:53.200 --> 00:55.200
So I did my very first design he actually

00:55.200 --> 00:56.900
threw back to me and said can I go

00:56.900 --> 00:58.300
a little bit further

00:58.300 --> 00:59.700
and do what you do? And one of the

00:59.700 --> 01:01.200
things we did was that was we played a

01:01.200 --> 01:03.300
lot with printing textures on Fabrics.

01:03.300 --> 01:06.200
So we created two prints with a sort of

01:06.200 --> 01:09.800
Puffs texture onto the Fabrics bonded our fabric on

01:09.800 --> 01:10.300
top of it.

01:10.300 --> 01:11.100
So it gave it that

01:11.100 --> 01:13.500
it really sort of structural base that we worked

01:13.500 --> 01:15.800
on top of we also designed a necklace which

01:15.800 --> 01:17.400
was a really great collaboration that we got to

01:17.400 --> 01:18.300
do with

01:18.300 --> 01:19.400
Dana Schneider

01:19.400 --> 01:20.600
the rails dress with the cape.

01:20.600 --> 01:22.100
I like to get things from this place that

01:22.100 --> 01:23.800
I call the Klingon store, which was this really

01:23.800 --> 01:26.700
great company called girly that particular piece was a

01:26.700 --> 01:28.900
jumpsuit and a pair of pants that we turn

01:28.900 --> 01:29.900
into a dress

01:29.900 --> 01:32.700
and we lifted off the leather pieces and

01:32.700 --> 01:33.900
put them back onto

01:33.900 --> 01:36.900
leather created this really cool Cape that we bonded

01:36.900 --> 01:38.700
to leather again here and then

01:38.700 --> 01:40.200
painted over the top of

01:40.200 --> 01:41.200
and put that

01:41.200 --> 01:42.000
LaRon

01:42.000 --> 01:42.800
this is

01:42.800 --> 01:45.600
Spock's very first look from episode 207

01:45.600 --> 01:49.000
designed by gursha Phillips all custom-made

01:49.000 --> 01:51.600
big shout-out to grocery Phillips your Genius or amazing.

01:51.600 --> 01:52.800
She did over

01:52.800 --> 01:55.900
I think a hundred and eighty original

01:55.900 --> 01:58.500
costumes for characters on the show, which is mind-blowing.

01:58.500 --> 01:59.800
They worked around the clock

01:59.800 --> 02:00.700
and

02:00.700 --> 02:01.900
a little secret.

02:01.900 --> 02:03.600
I have one of these at home.

02:03.600 --> 02:06.100
So the red angel I watch this really great

02:06.100 --> 02:07.700
movie called Ghost in the Shell

02:07.700 --> 02:11.100
and was completely enthralled with the suit that

02:11.100 --> 02:12.700
caller to have some awareness and that's what sort

02:12.700 --> 02:14.500
of was the take the kickoff point for the

02:14.500 --> 02:15.400
right Angel for me.

02:15.400 --> 02:17.700
Anyway, when we were given the task Mary also

02:17.700 --> 02:19.900
came up with this idea of the propeller wings

02:19.900 --> 02:21.700
that would push you through time, which is also

02:21.700 --> 02:23.400
really good and we had this whole other idea

02:23.400 --> 02:24.500
where we were going to build up it was

02:24.500 --> 02:25.700
going to be a pod

02:25.700 --> 02:26.900
and then the angel suit would come out of

02:26.900 --> 02:27.900
the Pod

02:27.900 --> 02:29.000
that all dropped away

02:29.000 --> 02:30.300
we had that was just what we had.

02:30.300 --> 02:31.700
You know, when we first were given it was

02:31.700 --> 02:33.300
said that the suit was

02:33.300 --> 02:35.000
a thousand years in the future

02:35.000 --> 02:36.800
and then it turned out to be a suit

02:36.800 --> 02:39.400
that her mom was working from the past.

02:39.400 --> 02:41.200
So we don't have a lot of really interesting.

02:41.200 --> 02:41.800
The palace

02:41.800 --> 02:43.500
we had to shift with all our different ideas.

02:43.500 --> 02:44.800
And then we had to make that second one

02:44.800 --> 02:45.400
for Burnham.

02:45.400 --> 02:47.300
It was a great experience and it was a

02:47.300 --> 02:49.100
really great collaboration

02:49.100 --> 02:51.100
with myself and Mario and we worked with a

02:51.100 --> 02:52.400
company called classrooms.

02:52.400 --> 02:54.800
We did 3D printing a 3D surface printing again

02:54.800 --> 02:55.400
with

02:55.400 --> 02:58.600
by Design in La creating the plates and and

02:58.600 --> 03:00.900
putting all the elements together was just a really

03:00.900 --> 03:03.200
great experience and I think that all works really

03:03.200 --> 03:04.600
well together and also

03:04.600 --> 03:06.500
it's one of the suits that I've been told

03:06.500 --> 03:07.500
by anybody that's worn.

03:07.500 --> 03:09.400
It is the most comfortable and easiest to wear.

03:09.400 --> 03:10.900
So that's a kind of a good it feels

03:10.900 --> 03:11.100
like

03:11.100 --> 03:12.700
Like a double plus

03:12.700 --> 03:15.500
look at feel that good and Axwell to and

03:15.500 --> 03:17.100
nothing not very many things fell apart.

03:17.100 --> 03:18.800
I don't think anything it actually I said that's

03:18.800 --> 03:20.900
also really great you hear of actors talking about

03:20.900 --> 03:22.600
other suits that they wore Nike remember got hearing

03:22.600 --> 03:23.800
about Gary Oldman

03:23.800 --> 03:26.300
not being able to move in his Dracula suit,

03:26.300 --> 03:28.700
you know and also the Batman suit, so

03:28.700 --> 03:30.200
I think once you can get them so that

03:30.200 --> 03:31.900
they can actually function and still do what they

03:31.900 --> 03:32.900
need to do the actors.

03:32.900 --> 03:33.900
It's really great.

03:33.900 --> 03:35.300
And it also looks really good.

03:35.300 --> 03:37.600
Everything is inspiring like for instance its fellow she

03:37.600 --> 03:39.300
and textures and those things that we were doing.

03:39.300 --> 03:41.200
There are things that we got, you know,

03:41.200 --> 03:41.700
From

03:41.700 --> 03:43.100
partly from nature

03:43.100 --> 03:45.300
also from just surfing the web and finding cool

03:45.300 --> 03:47.100
designs or cool Prince.

03:47.100 --> 03:48.800
I feel like I'm just like a sponge and

03:48.800 --> 03:49.100
everything.

03:49.100 --> 03:51.300
I just and I actually scared to watch certain

03:51.300 --> 03:53.300
things because I don't want it like absorb anything

03:53.300 --> 03:53.700
from that.

03:53.700 --> 03:54.800
You know, I haven't watched

03:54.800 --> 03:56.900
any Game of Thrones because I'm like not watching

03:56.900 --> 03:57.300
it.

03:57.300 --> 03:59.400
I don't want to see anything come out.

03:59.400 --> 04:00.800
So I just try you know, that's a big

04:00.800 --> 04:01.900
thing for me because I feel like I just

04:01.900 --> 04:03.100
soak it up and then it comes up and

04:03.100 --> 04:05.600
I don't even realize it's actually happening designers.

04:05.600 --> 04:07.600
I love Alexander McQueen

04:07.600 --> 04:08.700
Iris van herpen.

04:08.700 --> 04:09.700
That's really cool.

04:09.700 --> 04:11.100
I went to see her show.

04:11.100 --> 04:12.600
This year again, and it was

04:12.600 --> 04:14.300
mind-boggling a beautiful.

04:14.300 --> 04:15.700
And also I went to see that

04:15.700 --> 04:17.700
this other designer called GAO pay that has some

04:17.700 --> 04:20.000
really amazing things as well very odd, you know

04:20.000 --> 04:22.600
otherworldly in a different way, so it's really interesting

04:22.600 --> 04:23.700
to see that too.

04:23.700 --> 04:25.300
You know, I think when you're in a in

04:25.300 --> 04:25.600
a

04:25.600 --> 04:27.000
not a funk as my word, but when you're

04:27.000 --> 04:27.900
in a like a

04:27.900 --> 04:30.500
dry spell went creatively speaking, it's always nice to

04:30.500 --> 04:32.200
get something like that definitely is one of The

04:32.200 --> 04:33.300
Inspirations.

04:33.300 --> 04:35.400
Make sure you come on by the Paley Center.

04:35.400 --> 04:37.300
There's an amazing exhibit here for our show starts

04:37.300 --> 04:39.200
at Discovery happen until July 7th.
