Crew Call: EMPIRE Costume Designer Rita McGhee Talks About Her Craft

Rita McGhee designed the costumes for the first season of Empire, and here she explains how got into the business along with the ins and outs of her glamorous job.

Amen!! Costume design gets you to stretch your mind is such amazing ways. You really get to think about the character, and what they'd where. I'm jealous of her being able to visit GIANT costume houses, I only have a tiny costume designer kit right now. Someday though, I'll get to work on films with huge budgets! Right now though, my ability to work on a zero to little budget is getting work and helping me. Some day I'll have access to those costume houses.
