It's a Netflix thing.
He must've done alright. Maybe he'll wear them on a red carpet.

EM: I think it’s quite mysterious. And I don’t really understand it myself, other than I totally trust that it’s happening. They send you your script and you sit down and read it. You see the movie in your head. That’s the first time you imagine it. And it’s not a movie yet because it’s only in your imagination, so it’s larger than a movie. The only reality of it is your imagination. From the moment you say to your agent, “I’d like to do this,” there’s part of your brain that’s now thinking about that character. What do you need? What things can you go out and learn. For the Halston series, I learned how to drape. I had to look like I knew what I was doing with draping, you know?
WN: Draping fabric well is not easy.
EM: No, it’s not easy. I spent time in the wardrobe workrooms with different tailors and different people. And I was shown how Halston made a dress from a piece of fabric. He was a genius. Late at night, often alone, smoking a cigarette, he would cut these shapes that would suddenly fall into the most beautiful shape on a woman’s body. I got a tailor’s dummy. A male one and a female one. I had a sewing machine. I went to Mood Fabrics on 37th Street in New York and bought all these threads and fabrics and materials. I made a pair of trousers for myself; I’m very proud of them. And next, I am going to make something for my partner Mary [Elizabeth Winstead] and for my little girl.
WN: You really would like to make clothes?
EM: I love clothes, and I’m sort of particular about what I like to put on my body, but I’m not really a fashionista. I’m not really involved in the fashion scene, as it were. However, because of the series, I started looking at clothes wherever I went, thinking, “how did that get made?” And then I would find myself, you wouldn’t do this anymore because of COVID, even touching people’s clothing.
