Janie Bryant: Costume Designer

If you ever stumble across Janie Bryant on Instagram, you will immediately see one of two things: a cute poodle or a beautiful dress or suite that looks like it is from another time period. Bryant is an Emmy Award winning American film and television costume designer; her most notable works being from HBO’s Deadwood (2004-2006) and AMC’s Mad Men (2007-2015).

Did I mention she also owns three adorable white standard poodles.

Bryant’s most recent projects include Amazon’s The Last Tycoon and the upcoming film based off of Stephen King’s novel, It (2017).  Like these two titles, Bryant is well known for her costume design in both the horror and time period genres. Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Prada and other designers have sited her work as being influential.

Bryant moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams as a costume designer in Hollywood after studying fashion design and working in design in Paris and New York. Bryant earned an Emmy Award in 2005 for her work on Deadwood and was nominated for six more Emmys. Four of these were for her work on Mad Men. She collaborated with Banana Republic for a Mad Men Collection.
