‘Baby Reindeer’ Costume Designer Built Martha’s Closet by Scouring London’s Thrift Shops


"Baby Reindeer" costume designer Mekel Bailey on shopping for Martha's clothes in London's thrift shops.

Based on Richard Gadd’s one-man play, the series follows Donny Dunn (Gadd), a fictionalized version of the comic, as he tries to transition from barman to comedian while being stalked by Martha (Gunning), a woman who sends him thousands of emails and harasses his family and girlfriend (Nava Mau), growing increasingly unstable and threatening as time goes on. In one moment when Donny finally approaches Martha, Bailey puts the character in a purple cardigan adorned with white hearts. The costume designer had a method to what he wanted in his search to fill Martha’s closet: specific tones, including reds, oranges, browns, greens and pinks.
