Vogue spoke to Kurata a week after winning a Costume Designers Guild award for excellence in sci-fi film and three days ahead of the Academy Awards ceremony itself about Rodarte’s return to New York last month, the process of putting together costumes for the film, and how she’s preparing for her big night ahead.

Kurata’s costumes add an indelible layer of meaning-and sometimes humor-to the film and garnered her an Academy Award nomination for best costume design. The film takes viewers through a variety of multiverses as Evelyn Wang, a Chinese American immigrant and owner of a laundromat (played by Michelle Yeoh), attempts to get through a day while dealing with an IRS audit, the prospective crumbling of her marriage, a visit from her father, and general mother-daughter irreconcilable differences. It was the perfect training for conceptualizing and developing the costumes for the comedy/drama/action movie written and directed by The Daniels, a.k.a. She’s also brought her uniquely colorful aesthetic to music videos and performances by A$AP Rocky, Bleachers, Tierra Whack, and the Linda Lindas, to name a few. Kurata, who is also a stylist, has worked alongside Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy since they first launched their label in 2006 and was a frequent collaborator of Opening Ceremony’s and Kenzo’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim.

As the costume designer for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Shirley Kurata is one of the buzziest names in Hollywood, but she’s been a familiar face in the fashion industry for almost 20 years.
