Legendary costume designer Colleen Atwood (Chicago, Alice in Wonderland) and acclaimed collaborator Christine Cantella join host Catherine Baumgardner on The Voice of Costume to explore the artistry and emotion behind Kiss of the Spider Woman.
From their fearless childhood curiosity to crafting cinematic beauty through fabric and form, Atwood and Cantella share how empathy, humor, and mutual trust power their long creative partnership—one that began on Planet of the Apes and has flourished ever since.
They break down the visual storytelling of Kiss of the Spider Woman: the shimmering gold goddess gown, the elegant blue chiffon suit, and the show-stopping tearaway green dress—each designed to reflect character, color, and movement in perfect harmony.
With deep insight into research, mentorship, and the demands of production, the two discuss working with director Bill Condon, the balance between vision and budget, and why adaptability and listening are key to surviving the creative process.
As Atwood reminds us, “Don’t be precious—keep going.” This episode is a masterclass in costume design, collaboration, and creative resilience.
