Episode Summary
Tedium isn’t such a bad thing, when you work for the stars. Such is the case for artist Grace Kim, whose fastidious craftwork has taken her all over the world to perfect what she was born to do as a precision tailor. Kim has worked with the likes of Rihanna, John Krasinksi, Emily Blunt, Lucy Liu, Mahershala Ali, and sew on and sew forth. Host Dr. Melinda Lewis talks with Grace Kim to knit together stories of the artist’s formative years with the fast-paced, demanding nature of a professional career behind the scenes of popular culture.
