The Brothers Sun hive, rise up! The show’s costume designer, Vera Chow, joins the pod to tell us how she dressed Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, Sam Song, and the rest of the cast for the new Netflix series. If you haven’t binge-watched this hilarious, action-packed show yet, it tells the story of a Taiwanese triad gangster who goes to LA to protect his estranged mother and improv-wannabe brother. Vera talks about how growing up in Asia helped prepare her for the gig and how she highlighted API clothing brands and sourced from thrift stores, Chinatown, designers, and Amazon for the characters' looks. She also created custom pieces (including a $6,000 corset belt for a character who dies right away), used tons of symbolism, put in costume design Easter eggs, and so much more for this epic series.
