Costume designer Johanna Argan had the enviable task of dressing Chris Evans on his new Apple TV+ series “Defending Jacob,” in which the actor plays Andy, the father of a teenage boy accused of murdering a fellow student. The role requires the former Captain America to don a much more muted set of clothing, including navy blue suits, casual sweatshirts, gray coats. “We wanted Chris not to look like Captain America,” says Argan in an exclusive new Gold Derby interview. “We wanted him to look like an everyday professional man who has a family, so we tried really hard to make the clothes feel real and lived-in, not overtly tailored.” Watch the full video interview with Argan above.

House of Cards’ costume designer Johanna Argan’s sophisticated styling makes a case that only someone who has sold his soul to the devil can have such a flawlessly tailored wardrobe. In season three, Argan artfully outfits the most powerful man in the (fictional) free world and his cunning presidential cabinet. And she continues to make the show's dark palate of muted blues, grays, and blacks come to life in human form. Argan talked with Vulture about First Lady Claire Underwood’s style evolution and Kevin Spacey’s timeless Hollywood look. Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) always looks flawless. Can you tell us about how her style has evolved? In season one, Tom Broecker was the establishing costume designer. He did such an amazing job of showing Claire as this career philanthropist who had these elegant silhouettes — specifically, people were in love with her fitted shirts, her skirts, and her shift-dresses...

“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Into the Woods” and “Inherent Vice” are among the nominees for the 16th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, the CDG announced on Wednesday.
So is “Selma,” which ended a 0-for-5 drought and picked up its first guild nomination of the year.
The guild chooses nominees in three separate categories: Excellence in Contemporary Film, Excellence in Period Film and Excellence in Fantasy Film.

The Costume Designers Guild joined the guild chorus Wednesday morning with a list of nominees across three categories: contemporary, period and fantasy designs. On the list, and finally joining the guild party, is "Selma" from legendary outfitter Ruth E. Carter. It's the first guild mention for the film so far and obviously a warranted one. Carter was joined on the period side by "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "The Imitation Game," "Inherent Vice" (yay!) and "The Theory of Everything." Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what makes "Interstellar" a contemporary film rather than a fantasy film (which is how the art directors classified it). Either way, I'm sure the team is happy to be included. I can't believe, though, that "Mr. Turner" has been excluded from both this list and the art directors'. Though it feels like this kind of thing has happened before, only to be righted by the Academy.
