[...] for the show's costume designer Lour Eyrich, the significance of having to dress one of the most recognizable fashion icons of this generation didn't sink in right away. Rather than worry over the momentous task ahead, Eyrich was simply excited to help Gaga discover The Countess, the singer's first major acting role, and establish a separate fashion identity for the character. Ultimately, MGM costume designer Adrian and artist Daphne Guinness became touchstones for The Countess' elegant style, with accessories helping the looks span across the character's century-plus lifespan. Eyrich also works closely with production designer Mark Worthington, who created the lush art deco look of the Hotel Cortez, to ensure the show has a cohesive style. According to Eyrich, The Countess alone has an average of 10 outfits per episode, but can have up to 20. Having a room full of Countess outfits on-hand can be a major life-saver, since they're only given a maximum of four days to pull together the looks for every character in the large ensemble cast. In addition to items loaned to the show from fashion houses such as Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, Yohji Yamamoto and Westwood, Eyrich also sources clothing from vintage couture stores in Los Angeles and even from Gaga herself. In addition to the stiletto blade hidden within, the silver opera-length glove is encrusted in more than 11,000 Swarovski crystals and sterling silver embellishments. [...] if that weren't enough work, nine other gloves had to be produced, including black, gold, red and green ones for The Countess, as well as green ones for Matt Bomer's and Finn Wittrock's characters. Hotel Since The Countess is prone to using her gloves to slaughter those around her, her wardrobe also has to withstand getting bloody on a regular basis.
