In 1980s New York, deep inside Saks Fifth Avenue's Studio Services and Bergdorf Goodman, Kimberly Kiss was at the center of it all-dressing actors, assisting legendary costume designers, and stepping into a world few ever get to see. From last-minute fittings to long days behind closed doors, she worked with some of the biggest names in film as they transformed into the characters we would come to love.
But the real story isn't just about the clothes.
It's about what happens in the fitting room-when the doors close, the racks roll in, and the image slips away. In those moments, stripped of costume and pretense, people reveal who they really are.
Warm, witty, and irresistibly honest, The Dresser takes you behind the scenes of iconic films and unforgettable encounters-from playful, unexpected moments with
Hollywood legends to the quiet, revealing exchanges no audience ever sees.
This is a story about ambition, instinct, and the power of style-not just to transform how someone looks, but to uncover who they are.
Because when people take their clothes off... they tell you everything.
