Designing a Generation: Inside Mona May’s Fashion Files

from No More Late Fees · host No More Late Fees

This week on No More Late Fees, we meet the woman who made fashion history—without ever being on camera. Join Jackie and Danielle as they sit down with the legendary costume designer Mona May, the visionary behind the iconic looks of Clueless, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, The Wedding Singer, and yes, even Xenon: Girl of the 21st Century. We talk plaid, we talk pleather, we talk Lemonade Mouth, and we discover how Mona basically dressed every millennial’s dreams from the late '90s through the glitter explosion of the early 2000s.From Cher’s yellow plaid suit to mesh shirts on dudes in A Night at the Roxbury, Mona spills the tea on building looks that defined characters before they even spoke. We get behind-the-scenes secrets about glue guns chasing actresses, trust-building with Drew Barrymore and Anna Faris, and the spiritual power of color—spoiler alert: Mona is team “Clothes are soul makeovers.” So grab your platform flip-flops, crank up that boy band playlist, and tune in for a nostalgia-packed trip through the fashion archives of one of Hollywood’s unsung heroes.—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—NostaBeautyhttps://nostabeauty.com 20% Off Code: NMLF—Mona MayInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/itsmonamay/Webpagemonamay.com
