In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.

I've always loved movies, art and clothes.

If I'm doing something contemporary, for sure I'm very aware of what's going on. Personally, I like fashion trends, but when I'm doing a movie, it doesn't affect what I do particularly at all. I don't relate to it in that way.

Inspiration comes from everywhere: books, art, people on the street. It is an interior process for me.

Planet of the Apes was a gigantic challenge, making the clothes work so people could do stunts and action in the clothes. I really learned a lot about that in that movie.

Be really good with budgets because they keep getting smaller.
