“From the beginning, that became a turtleneck, the miniskirt, opaque tights and a pair of high heels,” Cooper reveals. The key to Drescher’s wardrobe for the show was about knowing the right pieces. Cooper would typically have to pull together 50 outfits for the cast per episode of those, six would be for Drescher. She also kept in mind that those outfits had to have a formality to them because Fran Fine was working in a household.
It was a sassy elegance that was important to me, and pushing that to the edge without tipping it.” The key for her was to create something that “had to be fun, witty, sassy and elegant. The show is now seeing a resurgence thanks in part to its streaming debut on HBO Max, which means a renewed interest in Nanny Fine’s wardrobe.Ĭooper, who worked on the first four seasons, says she wanted to turn Drescher into a walking work of art with her outfits. Decades ago, it was Cooper who crafted the timeless looks for Drescher on the CBS comedy, “The Nanny” when it began airing in 1993.
But it’s far from their first project together. Costume designer Brenda Cooper is head down in her upcoming book, “The Silhouette Solution” out this December, a fashion book with a foreword by Fran Drescher.
