The musical’s costume designer Katrina Lindsay looks to a mix of vintage pieces and a curated selection from luxury retailer Mr Porter for the play. Talking to WWD in a recent interview, Lindsay discussed American Psycho: The Musical’s look, explaining, “Bateman and his social circle, at work and play, are obsessed with the surface value and status of everything around them. It is an obsession which highlights the void that enables Bateman to kill and enhances the dark humor within the piece.”
