Creating The Costumes of The Masked Singer, With Costume Designer Marina Toybina

Watch this illuminating hour-long conversation with six-time Emmy winner and FIDM Alumna Marina Toybina, and learn about her work as Costume Designer for Fox’s hit singing competition show, The Masked Singer. As costume designer for The Masked Singer, Marina has the unique challenge of designing for a host of top-secret celebrities who appear in elaborate costumes and full face masks to conceal their identities. The process is complex, as the costumes need to be outlandish yet practical for stars to sing and dance. Marina has said she comes up with several concepts and that the producers and contestants also make suggestions. She then sketches each idea and pays close attention to detail so that each character’s personality shines through in every aspect of the design.
