Susan Lyall

When Susan Lyall arrived in New York in the early 1980s to pursue a career in fashion design, it was her fascination with music, performance and art, which led into her current profession of developing characters and telling stories through costume. Lyall began her career in theatre with the esteemed Circle Repertory Company, eventually leading her into the then-fledgling New York independent film world.

Money Monster was the continuation of her 25-year collaboration with director Jodie Foster; she first worked with Foster in 1990 on Little Man Tate, followed by Home for the Holidays in 1994 and The Beaver in 2010. Lyall has also dressed Foster for Robert Schwentke's Flight Plan and Michael Apted's Nell.

Other esteemed directors with whom Lyall has worked include Steven Soderbergh, with whom she has worked on HBO's "Mosaic," (Side Effects, King of the Hill), Jonathan Demme (Rachel Getting Married, Line of Sight) and David Mamet (The Spanish Prisoner, State & Main). Additional films with Michael Apted include Thunderheart, Blink and Extreme Measures and with Robert Schwentke, RED and RIPD.
