  • Wednesday (S2) with Costume Designer, Colleen Atwood - The Costume House with Spencer Williams
    Jun 18 2026

    In this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams, we return to the halls of Nevermore Academy for a conversation with one of the most celebrated costume designers working today, Colleen Atwood.

    Fresh off the second season of Wednesday, Colleen joins Spencer to discuss the continued evolution of Wednesday Addams as she spends considerably more time investigating crime scenes than attending class.

    Together, they explore Morticia's elevated new costumes as Nevermore's gala chair, the arrival of the unforgettable Hester Frump, a ghostly appearance from Lady Gaga, and a few surprising nods that may stir memories of The Silence of the Lambs.

    From gothic glamour and family legacies to mystery, mayhem, and one gala episode that nearly sent Spencer into cardiac arrest, this conversation dives into the deliciously macabre details behind one of television's most visually distinctive worlds.

    In this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams (The Art of Costume Podcast bonus episode), we head to the City of Angels for a conversation about one of television's most authentic love letters to Los Angeles: I Love LA.

    Spencer is joined by returning friend of the podcast and costume designer Christina Flannery. Together, they explore how Christina brought a distinctly Los Angeles authenticity to the screen, from Y2K-inspired fashion and vintage treasures to the subtle details that make the city feel instantly recognizable.

    Along the way, they discuss collaborating with Rachel Sennott, hunting for the perfect pieces at some of Christina's favorite vintage spots, navigating the uniquely chaotic culture of Trader Joe's parking lots, dressing an alien pop star, and crafting the memorable New York City finale.
