The famed Costume Designer is making waves with her threads.

Canoga Park, CA, January 8, 2025 — The Able Show, the revolutionary talk show featuring people with disabilities, is adding vibrant color and creative insight in this week’s episode with the appearance of celebrated costume designer LaRae Wilson. Known for her bold vision and rising influence in the entertainment industry, Wilson joins the set to share her artistic journey and the passion that drives her work.

Creative Experimentation

Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Wilson discovered her artistic talents early in life. As a child, she was constantly drawing, experimenting with perfume and lipstick, and exploring creative expression in every form. Her artistic world expanded further when she was accepted into the magnet program at Shortridge Junior High, where she found her community among fellow creators and innovators.

Weaving the Strings of Fate

At nineteen, Wilson moved to Los Angeles—an important step that marked the beginning of her professional ascent. After teaching herself to sew, she entered the world of fashion design, and her creativity soon led her into costume design for film and television.

Wilson’s impressive credits include work on The Phantom of the Opera, Hell Hath No Fury, the Emmy-nominated series Studio City, and The Runner, for which she received her first nomination for Best Costume Designer. She also secured a win for her work on The King is Dead. Expanding her creative footprint, Wilson has produced, written, and directed projects such as Social Disturbance, FIRE, The REALtors, Land of Illusion, and The Manor.

Light the Way

Beyond her on-screen achievements, LaRae Wilson’s mission is to create pathways for artists—especially those from her hometown of Indianapolis—to build careers without leaving the comfort and stability of their homes. During her appearance on The Able Show, she shares how she is cultivating opportunities for emerging creatives and offers insights into her success, work ethic, and continued evolution in the industry.

This week’s episode promises inspiration, creativity, and a behind-the-scenes look at a designer who is reshaping the landscape of costume design with passion and purpose. Audiences won’t want to miss this robust conversation with LaRae Wilson on The Able Show.
