‘Jessica Jones’ Costume Designer Says #MeToo Movement Supports ‘Women Dressing for Women’

The #MeToo movement has ushered in a much-needed national conversation about the power dynamics between women and men in the workplace, and one costume designer explained to TheWrap how clothes can play into those dynamics.

Elisabeth Vastola, the costume designer for the second season of “Jessica Jones,” recently told TheWrap that what someone wears can help demonstrate “a sense of independence.” 

Without giving too much away, there’s a moment in “Jessica Jones” Season 2 in which Trish (Rachael Taylor), Jessica (Krysten Ritter)’s best friend, confronts a director who assaulted her when she was a child star. Vastola said it was important to think carefully about what Trish would wear in this scene.
