Costume Designer - Hannah Jacobs

Published: Sept. 25, 2020, 11 a.m.

This Episode of, “Go For Parents” features Los Angles based Costume Designer Hannah Jacobs. With a resume that includes Costume Designer of Starz’s hit show “Vida,” and HBO’s “Togetherness,” Assistant Costume Designer for HBO’s “The Newsroom,” and FX’s “Feud: Bette and Joan,” Hannah added the role of Mother to a little girl in February of 2019. 

Really looking forward to sharing Hannah’s story. Hannah recalls visiting sets at an early age to see her Production Designer Father, and experiences in school that led her to learn Costumes from Oscar Winning Costume Designer, Deborah Scott.  We dive into her education and work experiences, career path before becoming a Mother, making the leap to “The Other Side,” aka Motherhood, life in Quarantine, the respect she has for stay at home Mothers (*and love for her Mom) and how she’s fairing during this journey she has embarked on as a Career Woman, Wife and Mother. Here are Hannah’s current picks we are excited to share…

READ: “The Pout Pout Fish” by Deborah Diesen with Pictures by Dan Hanna. 

*Her Bianca loves this book and has worn down the centerfold with slobbery kisses for the Pout Pout fish*

EAT: Dinners as a family at Salazar in Frogtown-Los Angeles, CA. PS is open-and you can make a reservation on @resy 

VISIT: “As a kid, I was always a huge fan of riding the Ponies in Griffith Park and going to the Zoo, so have been excited to share those with Bianca as well. Other family faves have been Huntington Botanical Gardens and Zuma beach.”

PUMP: “Elvie Handsfree-Wearable-Silent-Breastfeeding Pump. I pumped at Barneys (RIP), in fittings, production meetings, and no one knew or could hear! 100% recommend to other mothers + hope in the future that our Insurance could offer this pump for our members.” 

CHILDCARE: Meredith & Co. based out of Pasadena, CA has been a helpful resource for Hannah finding help with her little Bianca. You can find Meredith on IG @meredithandcompany

WATCH: Hannah is a lover of all HBO and her latest binge was HBO’s “Perry Mason,” and loved supporting the talented Chris Chalk *who she also worked with on “The Newsroom.*
