HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) The most rewarding part of designing costumes for the miniseries “The Underground Railroad” on Amazon Prime Video, said Caroline Eselin-Schaefer, was seeing the characters look true to the various historical periods covered during the show.
“It was the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” said costume designer Eselin, a native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans. “It was a serious responsibility. The obligation of being as authentic as possible in each portrayal was a challenging undertaking.”
The miniseries from Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead.
