Live: How Priscilla by Sofia Coppola Uses Clothing as a Form Of Power, With Stacey Battat

Why is work that takes aesthetics seriously always considered vapid? This week, joining Ione and Gina live is Priscilla costume designer and frequent collaborator of Sofia Coppola, Stacey Battat. We discuss everything from costuming one of the most fashionable women in history, to working on low budget productions and utilising clothing within feminist films to further push unspoken narratives.


Recorded in partnership with MUBI to celebrate the launch of Sofia Coppola's Priscilla on streaming, watch Priscilla with 30 free days of MUBI here!
