In episode 46 we talk with ERIC WINTERLING, founder and creative director for Eric Winterling, Inc. about making costumes for two popular series set in New York City in widely different time periods. THE GILDED AGE (HBO) and THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL (Amazon Studios) have dazzled historical drama watchers and series fans with their show-stopper fashions. Eric’s New York City costume studio is where the period garments are constructed from designs by Kasia Walicka-Maimone for THE GILDED AGE; and Donna Zakowska, Emmy award winning designer for THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL. Eric's dog, Bumpers also joins us for the first half of the conversation.
