Today’s episode is one that is near and dear to my heart. In season 1 back in April of 2018, we were fortunate to have one of Hollywood’s most renowned custom tailors, Carl Ulysses. In 2018, the world was blown away with an entirely new representation of an African American comic book hero in Marvel’s the Black Panther, starring the late Chadwick Boseman.
Carl worked closely with Academy Award winning costume designer, Ruth Carter, who made history as the first African American woman to receive an Oscar for costume design. Carl is also known for his designs on Tyler Perry’s The Haves and The Have Nots, Ice Cube’s Barbershop and the 2018 action comedy Game Night starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams.
