Though “The King of Staten Island” is based in part on the real life of Pete Davidson, costume designer Sarah Mae Burton (“The Big Sick”) knew she didn’t want Davidson’s character to look like the “SNL” cast member.
“Pete has a distinctive style [“scumbro” — logos, sweats, Hawaiian shirts and neon] in the media, and we wanted to make sure we weren’t dressing him like that,” she says.
In the Judd Apatow film, which Universal is offering on VOD on June 12, Davidson plays Scott, a young man still mourning his firefighter father, who died on the job when Scott was 7. Scott, who still lives at home, has a bad case of arrested development and passes his time smoking weed and hanging out with his friends. His dream is to become a tattoo artist.
“He doesn’t wear super expensive things,” Burton explains. “And when he does, he might have saved up for those items.” Or,...

Brigsby Bear tells the bizarre yet charming tale of a young man, James Pope (Kyle Mooney), who was kidnapped as a baby and subsequently released into the world many years later with no knowledge of it beyond a non-existent kids television show. The film evokes a nostalgic view of the 1980s and, while is contemporary set, gently embraces that period in terms of its aesthetic.
Costume designer for Brigsby Bear, Sarah Mae Burton, experienced in both television and film, has created a familiar yet distinctive vibe that feels entirely believable. Here she talks exclusively to Clothes on Film about her process:
Clothes on Film: James Pope’s world for twenty five years seems very much grounded in the 1980s. Was this the idea, to give him this retro look throughout?
Sarah Mae Burton: The family that “abducted” him would have gone into the bunker in the late 70’s / very early 80’s,...

Despite being set in the present day, the world of Brigsby Bear (2017, directed by Dave McCary) is a cosy 1980s nostalgia affair. Most of what we see either comes from or belongs to another time. It is a very deliberate look that extends right across the production design and costumes.
Separate from the overall costume design of Brigsby Bear (by Sarah Mae Burton), Stoopid Buddy Stoodios worked on the creation and execution of the actual Brigsby Bear suit. We chatted to David Brooks and Ben Bayouth from the studio to discover exactly how they arrived upon the distinctive finished article.
Clothes on Film: What led Stoopid Buddy Stoodios to be working on Brigsby Bear?
Ben Bayouth: Well I had worked with one of the producers beforehand. Also I’d recently started with Stoopid Buddy in their new ‘Buddy Builds’ department which was set up to make all sorts of practical effects.
