505: Oscar Nominated Costume Designer Malgosia Turzanska on Designing Hamnet

Christina is joined by 2026 Oscar nominated costume designer Malgosia Turzanska, celebrated for her extraordinary work on Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet.

They discuss the rich research behind Elizabethan clothing, the intimate storytelling within the Shakespeare family, and her concept of “emotional dressing,” where every detail carries meaning. From Agnes’ striking reds in Jessie Buckley’s Oscar nominated performance, to the protective padding worn by Shakespeare’s mother, portrayed by Emily Watson, to Will Shakespeare’s (Paul Mescal) ink-stained fingers, and much more.
