Resa McConaghy – Costume Designer – Honors Detour on the Eternal Road

Resa McConaghy had a decades-long career designing costumes in over 50 movies for stars like Kim Cattrall and Helen Mirren. When the film industry ground to a halt during Covid, she started upcycling old fabric into elaborate couture. Today, she honored me by designing Cloud Wear for Sam Tourneau, a protagonist in Detour on the Eternal Road.

I am very grateful for Resa’s talent; she felt she could serve Sam by giving her a lovely wardrobe to wear in the afterlife. Here is the link to La post. While there, take time to look around at the beautiful photos and gowns Resa has created.

More about Resa in her words.

“My name is Resa McConaghy. I’m a semi-retired Costume Designer for film and television.

Strawberry Kisses

My first Art Gown “Strawberry Kisses” was to create some beauty in my life after mom died. It was a hit with people, so I continued to make and post more “Art Gowns”.

At some point, I began upcycling, repurposing, and, in general, making the gowns out of any fabric or notions that were not new goods. I was using up anything headed for landfills. All the gowns are hand-sown so that machines do not use energy.

The Art Gowns are available to borrow or rent (situation dependant) for Gala’s, photo shoots and film production.
