From custom boot-scoot boots to sustainable nudie suits, go inside the costume closets of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson!
Returning guest Colin Wilkes, costume designer for Apple TV+'s "Brothers," shares the full-circle story of designing for two real-life friends playing fictionalized versions of themselves. A Texas native, Colin reveals how her deep roots in the Austin film industry — and the state's resourceful, hands-on crews — shaped the show's authentic Western aesthetic.
She dives into dressing Matthew in heritage, tailored brands rooted in Texas identity, and Woody in eco-friendly, naturally dyed, circular fashion sourced from sustainable makers. Hear the story behind the custom matte boot-scoot mascot boots, Woody's vegan medieval-style slippers, and the stunning hand-dyed, hand-embroidered nudie suits worn during a sweltering 108-degree shoot.
Colin also opens up about the collaborative magic of costuming comedy, learning to let go of perfectionism, and the unforgettable experience of shooting on a remote Texas ranch with her tight-knit team.
Plus, she offers her take on the show's central mystery: are Matthew and Woody really brothers?
A must-listen for costume design lovers, Texas film industry fans, Western fashion enthusiasts, and anyone curious about dressing real celebrities as fictionalized versions of themselves.
