Arnita (Tyne Daly) has her first experience of ghosts with Edward (William Hurt). We decided that all she did and all she was had to be worn and seen.

Arnita (Tyne Daly) with Mae (Samantha Mathis) and Edward (William Hurt).
The house was central to the story, literally and aesthetically. I used a strict pallette that was established by the decor of the house. This added a real sense of belonging to the characters.
I used a lot of original clothing for Mae (Samantha Mathis) and Edward (William Hurt). Note Mae’s original ’20s Egret feather spray.

Sandra (Cindy Crawford) was totally urban and slick. Rick (Harry Connick, Jr.) was a craftman. They were from different worlds but I tried to make them aligned using colour and texture.

Edward (William Hurt), the 1890’s ghost, can’t sleep—even though he’s wearing an original, Edwardian dressing gown. Note the beautiful cuff detail.

Catherine (Lynn Redgrave) was the great-granddaughter of the ghost Edward. She is the matriarch of the house. Catherine is in crisis. I express this in her wardrobe by contrasting warm, tactile colours and textures with colder colours and harder shapes.

Marta (Monica Keena), the wild child, gives in to the joys of motherhood. I express this with a warm, inviting textured knit.
