While drafting the editorial on Glen and Glenda’s (Lachlan Watson) pronouns a few weeks ago, I realized that not only does each twin have a distinct identity, but that their visual coding specifically challenges traditional gender norms. Take something as simple as hair: Glenda’s short hair vs Glen’s long hair forces viewers to confront their assumptions about gender presentation (ie: short hair doesn’t = male; long hair doesn’t = female).
Reflecting on the introduction of the twins made me consider how invaluable hair and costuming has been on Chucky, so for this week’s editorial, I’m eschewing the traditional queer breakdown to dig into how the costumes contribute to the characters.
I wound up reaching out to the show’s costume designer Catherine Ashton to discuss her approach to work, dressing the twins, and those elaborate, opulent party outfits from season two’s stand-out episode, “Death on Denial.
