<p>Stacey Battat is a costume designer and longtime collaborator of director Sofia Coppola, known for her work on films like <em>The Bling Ring</em> and <em>The Beguiled</em>. But most recently, Battat took on the huge undertaking of crafting the looks for A24’s newly released biographical drama, <em>Priscilla</em>. Based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, <em>Elvis and Me, </em>Coppola’s <em>Priscilla</em>, which stars Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, depicts the couple's epic yet tumultuous relationship, this time from Priscilla’s perspective. From the late ’50s to the early ’70s, Battat had a ton of ground—and fashion eras—to cover when it came to costume design. She’s here to talk about how wardrobe choices impact character development, what type of research is involved in telling true stories, and why having a solid team is of the utmost importance.</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
