Behind the Scenes with HBO’s The Gilded Age Costume Designers

Join us for a unique experience with Emmy®-nominated costume designer Kasia Walicka Maimone and first assistant costume designer Isabelle Simone as they share stories about the process of creating thousands of costumes for The Gilded Age—from the artistic inspiration to the fabrication to their collaborations with the cast, crew, and production staff.

The conversation will be moderated by Laura Vookles, Chair of the HRM’s Curatorial Department, and will take place in the Great Hall of Glenview historic home, which is featured in all three seasons of The Gilded Age as the home of Mrs. Astor (played by Donna Murphy). See the costumes of Mrs. Astor on display in the sumptuous interiors of our historic home. Ticket holders can enter at 3pm to view the costumes up close.

Tickets: $25; $20 Members; includes general admission. Capacity is limited. Advance reservations are strongly encouraged. Recommended for teens and adults.

Kasia Walicka Maimone is known for her intricate and historically-informed designs that capture the essence of the era, particularly the contrast between old and new money represented by characters like Bertha Russell and Agnes van Rhijn, according to Variety, Reddit, and TheWrap.
