Gregg Barnes is a costume designer for stage and film. Barnes is a two-time winner of the Tony Award for Best Costume Design for his work on the Broadway productions of The Drowsy Chaperone (2006) and Follies (2011). He taught at New York University in the Graduate School for 20 years. He was the resident costume designer for the Paper Mill Playhouse, Millburn, New Jersey.
I had so much to learn from Gregg, and thankfully he schooled me up on everything wardrobe related and more, like:
- What social media site is his new favorite design tool.
- Why Broadway costumes are so darn expensive.
- How to calculate the right costume budget.
- His first step when designing any new show.
- When he likes to be hired on a show, and who MUST be hired before him.
