Outfits on hit shows like 'Euphoria' frequently sell out online — and like everyone else, blind and low-vision viewers want to know what's in fashion.
, a costume designer whose work in"Judas and the Black Messiah" was nominated for a Costume Designers Guild Award in 2021, says."Fashion is a visual language that helps move a story along. Before a character even opens their mouth, you see what they're wearing, their hair, and their makeup. Those things help viewers to understand what a character might do for work or what subculture/counterculture they might be a part of.
But even when they aren't as integral to world-building, costumes are still an essential part of the viewing experience. The cult classic"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" isn't about fashion, but 25 years after the series first aired, there are still countless pieces on the iconic styles worn by Buffy and the Scooby Gang.
In the season three episode"Homecoming," Buffy and her classmate Cordelia compete for the title of Sunnydale's homecoming queen — only to be kidnapped right before the dance. One of the episode's highlights is Buffy and Cordelia's homecoming dresses — which is why it's such a missed opportunity that streaming audio descriptions fail to describe what the two are wearing.
"I designed both of those dresses. Buffy's dress was taken from a popular designer Isaac Mizrahi, and Cordelia's dress was really inspired by the movies of the '40s and actors like Rita Hayworth," Bergstrom tells POPSUGAR."And the difference between the two dresses was really emblematic of their personalities.
Of course, audio descriptions don't always have enough time to do such thorough outfit narration — but it's still important for those who write and voice audio descriptions to learn some basics."There should be a knowledge of fashion, even if it's just having an understanding of the fashion vocabulary.
