For me, this means I don't have to give up or sideline my experience as a costume designer and technician. I could bring all of my skills to a job, or create one that brings the best elements of everything I love together.

"Danny Flynn is a fashion stylist who has worked extensively in music videos, commercials, and editorials. Flynn owns a high-end fashion shop, Replika Vintage, in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo that specializes in Japanese and avant-garde designer clothing from the 1960s to present. His stock is a go-to for costume designers and stylists looking for unique or unusual pieces. So, when Disney Animation began work on Big Hero 6, which takes place in San Fransokyo (a futuristic highbred of San Francisco and Tokyo), Danny seemed like the most logical fit for costume designer.
As computer animation technology has grown in the last five years, the industry has seen the need for more detailed and realistically portrayed clothing and costume design for lead characters. Disney has worked with character designers that have specialties in costume research and construction, most notably on Brave and Frozen, but until now they have been buried in the Art Department credits with titles such as “Visual Development Artist.” Big Hero 6 marks the first animated film to list a “Costume Designer” in their credits, an exciting leap for the field!"
