These are clothes that we’ve been collecting for over 20 years.Į.J. Then you go two floors down and there’s a section called “Whores and Tarts,” which is sort of a combo platter of clubwear and cheap clothes - like, girls going to the disco. In one room there’s jeans and chinos, and then there are shoes and then men’s suits, and women’s suits, and then there’s the maternity section and then sweatsuits. Tom Broecker: It’s funny because it’s broken down into so many little rooms. What’s the costume closet at 30 Rock like?Į.J.: Let’s just say if we were to open up a vintage store in New York, it would be the most amazing store New York has ever seen. We’re used to this very chaotic system - it’s all we know. If it’s not clear what that should be, we gather a bunch of options as inspiration, and meet to collaborate. It’s a very quick turnaround, so our approach is often that we do what we instinctually think the costume should be. On Thursday morning, we start pulling, shopping, and building costumes for all the sketches. At that point, the writers and actors will start to come to us with their visions for the sketches, and we’ll interpret them. There are about 40 sketches that we read, and then it dwindles down by the end of the evening to about 15 sketches a week. So, what is the process of designing costumes for Saturday Night Live?Įric Justian: We do a read-through on Wednesday nights with the cast and writers. Read the interview below, and click through the slideshow to see their top picks - including Maya Rudolph as Donatella Versace, Justin Timberlake as an omelette, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in mom jeans, and many more. They also shared their favorite SNL costumes of all time. They reflected on the challenges of designing costumes on a three-day schedule, what it’s like to work with comedy writers who treat costumes like magical cartoons, and how the show has changed in the years they’ve worked there. In honor of the occasion, the Cut spoke with the show’s chief costume designers, Tom Broecker and Eric Justian, who have been working together at 30 Rockefeller Plaza for over 20 years. This weekend marks the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.
