Before she shops for the clothing, "Desperate Housewives" costume designer Cate
Adair imagines a real man behind each male character - and takes pleasure in the task.
"Let's be honest: They're a pretty good-looking bunch of guys," she said. "It's
not very hard to come to work."
Here are some of the labels behind the looks.
REX VAN DE KAMP, BREE'S HUSBAND
Profile: "He's a doctor. We know his wife is a Republican - not that I don't
have friends who are trendy Republicans. But he's a little more country-club careful."
The labels: "I use a lot of Nordstrom on him - the nice private label. He also
looks good in Hugo Boss - it's cut beautifully for him. I've used some Armani,
the more classic cuts, on him."
