Dressed to thrill
Each episode of “Miami Vice” (One this evening) tops $1 million in production costs and much of the money goes on clothes for the world’s first designer television series.
Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs wear $l5OO suits, $2OO shoes and shirts of a similar price range. The hitmen wear threads by Armani. The cops wear silk and linen outfits by Versace, Cerruti and Uomo. When you are in “Miami Vice” it seems a crime not to wear something imported.
The show’s wardrobe mistress scurries around Italy on buying trips less frequently these days — now the designers approach her. Recently she spent $lOO,OOO on suede and wool gabardine to keep stars Johnson and Thomas dressed to thrill and kill.
