553: Dressing La Bola Negra with Costume Designer Ana López Cobos

Costume designer Ana López Cobos joins Christina to unpack the costumes of Los Javis’ La Bola Negra, the Spanish gay epic spanning three eras. Ana takes us behind the scenes of building Los Javis’ vision through costume: from period military uniforms to dressing Federico García Lorca himself, and creating the look for Penélope Cruz’s turn as cupletista Nené Romero.
