Audiences had never seen anything like Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks when the series first aired in April 1990 on the ABC Television Network. Viewers were just as captivated by the mystery of Laura Palmer’s murder as they were by Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise’s music and the small towns of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington where…
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks is like a time capsule from the 1990s, best seen in costume pieces worn by the actors through the series and feature film. Costume designers selected items from labels such as Benetton, Liz Sport and Pendleton that were reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s. While researching scenes from The…
The fashion in Twin Peaks is something that has captivated fans for decades. For the first two seasons of the show, Sarah Markowitz served as the Costume Designer, taking over for Patricia Norris who designed the show’s look for the Pilot. Long-time fashion writer Rose-Marie Turk profiled Markowitz’s work in an article for The Los Angeles…
I love finding when items in Twin Peaks magically jump from location to location or character to character.

As I continue documenting and preserving Twin Peaks history, I’m sharing a GQ Style article about David Lynch’s Twin Peaks from their Fall | Winter 2014 issue. Author Tom Carson explores how David Lynch and Mark Frost’s early 1990s show influenced fashion in 2014.
Norma Jennings, played by the late Peggy Lipton, looked radiant in every episode of Twin Peaks. Today, I’m turning the costume spotlight on the queen of the Double R Diner by taking a closer look at her costumes from the pilot episode through episode 1.007 from season 1.
One of my favorite characters in Twin Peaks is Windom Earle as played by Kenneth Welsh. Known for his many costume changes late in season two, i loved his portrayal of Agent Cooper’s former partner. For this Costuming Peaks article, I’m taking a deep dive into Earle’s many outfits (faux mustache not required).
With a look for every occasion, Dr. Jacoby is objectively Twin Peaks’ snappiest dresser. He debuts one of his most memorable ensembles early in the first season.
