Did you see Hot Tub Time Machine this past weekend? Did you notice that bad guy Blaine (aka Carter Baizen from Gossip Girl) was wearing what appeared to be a Pendleton for Opening Ceremony jacket? If your answers were yes and yes, then you should probably head over to this excellent interview with the movie's costume designer, in which she describes her own '80s style, explains why the decade was so much fun, and talks about buying acid washed jeans by the pound at a vintage warehouse nicknamed “the moist place.” [LAT Times]
