No, actors don't typically get to keep them:
Author:Fawnia Soo HooPublish date:Mar 25, 2015Updated onMar 25, 2015This time of the year is always bittersweet for me. Yes, spring has arrived, but so has the end of the traditional TV season . While must-watch shows like "How to Get Away With Murder" and "Empire" just concluded their debut runs, some beloved series are completely over.
The studios can also reclaim all of their purchases to stockpile into a massive costume shop for other productions to rent, but the recognizable, iconic looks worn by star characters are placed into the archives. "Gossip Girl" costume designer Eric Daman estimated that 80 percent of the wardrobe from the show ended up in the Warner Bros. stash.
If actors are patient enough to wait until a show wraps, they could also take advantage of costume and prop sales that are open to the public — meaning to other productions, costume houses and even to you and me. "Girls" and "Orange is the New Black" costume designer Jenn Rogien worked as an associate costume designer on the 2009 series "Kings," which was canceled by NBC after one season.
Even if costume designers don't personally own the costumes, there are still well-documented instances of repeats. When a designer is working on a consecutive show for the same studio, he or she can enjoy discounted rental fees, as well as early insider access to pieces they're already quite familiar with.
