"L.A. Law" won best drama, writing and best supporting actor for Jimmy Smits. "Twin Peaks," a post-Modern tale of murder, assion and diner food in the Pacific Northwest, won only for its editing and costuming in non-televised awards Saturday.
Matters are made even worse by costuming from Myriam Teissier and Le Groumellec.
I truly salute their courage." Despite 14 nominations, ABC's "Twin Peaks," the strange new series about murder in a Northwest logging town, captured only two technical trophies - for editing and costuming.
The costuming is depressing: pastel vests and leotards that end fatally at the knee, with dainty shoes: the dancers look like discomforted elves - and some of them rather bulgy elves at that.
However, only four or five of the shops are highly regarded mainstays, said Carrie Robbins, master teacher of costuming at New York University and a free-lance costume designer.
The costuming is timeless yet suitably archaic, in natural-coloured linen and wool for the villagers, rather more conventionally piratical for Bryaxis and his crew.
The look of the stage, after the Raymonda grand pas which began the programme with dark draperies, chandeliers and mimsy costuming, was like cool water after a glass of treacle-ish madeira.
