Liz Mitchell chats to Clare O’Leary about her designs for screen, from crafting shoulder pads, stilettos and gel-spiked hair on Gloss, through to Richard Taylor’s suit for wearing on the Oscars’ red carpet.

Liz Mitchell also did the costume design for Walkshort, a “slice of life” short film set amongst the pedestrians of Auckland’s Karangahape Road and shot in an increasingly hilarious baton relay-style narrative.
