The HBO limited series centers on the stories of E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, who played key roles in the infamous Watergate scandal.
The five-part series, which debuts on Monday, centers on former CIA officer Hunt and former F.B.I. agent Liddy , who were tapped in the early ‘70s by President Richard Nixon’s administration to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak and ultimately were key players in the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters that led to the Watergate scandal and Nixon’s downfall.
She explained that at that time, the menswear styles of the late ‘60s were still present, such as three-button suits and slimmer lapels, collars and ties. She looked to this aesthetic for certain characters as she saw fit, and married it with the burgeoning menswear styles of the ‘70s, which were centered on flared silhouettes and bigger ties.
She also explained that her team took inspiration from Harrelson himself for his costumes. As the actor is a vegan and environmentalist, Katznelson worked to create custom suits for him that were made with natural fibers, threads and design elements, such as buttons made from Brazilian nuts. “Liddy is somebody who is very systematic and believes in hierarchy and order,” she said. “I sort of infiltrated geometry and architecture into all of his clothing, so there’s a symmetry in all of his ties and repetitive lines in all of his shirting. That was a hidden reflection for his inner workings as a person.”
