Interview with Costume Designer Eulyn Womble From The Walking Dead

A interview conducted by AMC on the set of The Walking Dead discussing customer design. Featured on AMC's website http://blogs.amctv.com/the-walking-dead/2012/08/eulyn-womble-interview.php

Q: What can you tell us about Michonne's wardrobe? Where did you find her cape?

A: Oh my gosh. So much fun to do... I didn't want to get too futuristic with the cape. That's why we used burlap. I think it just adds just nice texture and a great silhouette. Her boots are amazing. They have studs on them. Everything she has she can be used to kill zombies.

Q: How about the Governor?

A: [David's] gorgeous and he has a presence. He doesn't need a whole lot. I wanted him to look like the everyman but with a little bit of edginess... He has a couple of signature pieces that look like modern day armor I suppose. He has a vest... and then I've introduced a coat. I [want people] to question why he has too many nice things compared to what his people have.

Q: You're originally from Cape Town, South Africa, home of the Great White Shark. Do you have an opinion on the infamous Shark vs. Zombie battle in the Italian film Zombie? Who should win?

A: [Laughs] I think probably the zombie because they just don't stop. The shark is practically prehistoric so it probably doesn't know to bite it in the head, to pierce it right in the brain to stop it. It would probably swallow the zombie whole and get eaten from the inside out.

Q: If you were living in a zombie apocalypse, what items of clothing would you never leave home without?

A: Hershel's pants, Michonne's vest, Maggie's tank top, and it would be a toss up between Glenn's boots and Michonne's boots because they're both pretty hardcore. And Dale's hat!
