‘King of Staten Island’ Costume Designer Sarah Mae Burton on Creating Pete Davidson’s Look
Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorThough “The King of Staten Island” is based in part on the real life of Pete Davidson, costume designer Sarah Mae Burton (“The Big Sick”) knew she didn’t want Davidson’s character to look like the “SNL” cast member.“Pete has a distinctive style [“scrumbo” — logos, sweats, Hawaiian shirts and neon] in the media, and we wanted to make sure we weren’t dressing him like that,” she says. In the Judd Apatow film, which Universal is offering on VOD on June 12, Davidson plays Scott, a young man still mourning his firefighter father, who died on the job when Scott was 7 (the same age Davidson lost his dad, a firefighter, in the 9/11 terror attacks).
