Audrey—who created 120 costumes for Candy's relation alone—also looked astatine her done the lens of a quality wrong a character. And portion the apparel successful movie and tv often thrust the communicative forward, the costume decorator noted that Love & Death changes the dynamic by almost camouflaging the ominous events that volition transpire.
