'Loki' Costume Designer Discusses The ‘Funny’ Aspect Of Designing Sylvie’s Mcdonalds’ Uniform

Transcript

00:00 of the things that I was really impressed with,

00:01 the uniform that Sylvie has at McDonald's.

00:04 I'm so interested, what was the process

00:07 of finding the fabric for that?

00:09 And then what kind of access to resources

00:11 did you have in terms of crafting that and making

00:13 sure it was accurate enough?

00:16 Well, I had a handbook that outlined

00:21 what that uniform looked like, which ended right at the year

00:23 that McDonald's stopped using that uniform, right

00:27 at the year that we see Sylvie.

00:30 But we actually had to sublimate,

00:32 which means we had to print that stripe on a polyester.

00:36 Thank God, because you really have to always sublimate

00:38 on polyester.

00:39 Not that-- it's a little minutiae detail there.

00:44 So we printed that stripe and then

00:47 had to build the whole thing.

00:51 It's so impressive.

00:52 It's so specific and so detailed.

00:54 And I love it.

00:55 Of course, being someone who wasn't around--

00:57 I guess not being around--

00:58 wasn't around at that point, but it's so impressive.

01:02 Well, it's also really-- it was funny

01:03 to try to make it ill-fitting, because somebody

01:06 is--

01:08 with so much swagger.

01:09 I think that Sophia actually has all this swagger as an actress

01:13 so she can pull off anything and kind of make it look cool,

01:17 which helped.

01:18 But still, it's hard to make--

01:21 it was hard because we really wanted to feel like a bad

01:25 uniform, where it's small, medium, large.

01:27 And you might be a small, but hey, we only have a medium.

01:30 So--

01:30 [LAUGHS]

01:32 Right.
