Interesting. So you see a black woman on-stage ask for clarification from her staff about the material used on one costume out of hundreds her department worked on, and your first assumption right out the gate is that she must be unqualified for the job and only got it through some less than equitable circumstances. Sounds like a "subtle" affirmative action complaint to me.
Because crap like this is what gives fans a bad name. It's not enough to just dislike the show, you (general you) have to cast aspersions at everyone involved in the acting and production, assuming they must be incompetent or unqualified and got their job because of some special circumstances rather than their experience and/or education. Some fans would attack the catering staff in their quest to shit on every possible aspect of the show. It's embarrassing and childish.
It's not nonsense when someone (not you) baselessly concludes that a black woman with twenty+ years experience in the field must be unqualified for the job and only got it through "less than equitable" circumstances based on one minor slip-up or request for clarification during an informal convention presentation.
OMG. For the third time. This. Is. Not. About. You. I was addressing the poster who was at the convention and saw Gersha Phillips in person. You would have no reason to know her race or ethnicity unless you looked her up,. The person I was addressing (wakeup) would know it because he or she was staring right at Phillips as she spoke. Okay?
She does have some limited SF/F genre experience prior to DSC. She worked on Incorporated, which was set in a future corporate dystopia, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Falling Skies, and a superhero comedy called Defendor with Woody Harrelson.
But it's not the only thing that looks roughly similar to that, especially under less than ideal viewing conditions, like a picture on a big screen that you're standing under, possibly in bad lighting. There's gold or copper lamé, guipé, "cloth of gold", or just dyed gold fabric, which are all different styles and techniques.

Besides, it's a moot point, as I posted the example from an Emmy interview with her where she clearly knows what gold lamé is and has worked with it before.
You’re confusing your own opinion with objective truth, like many in this forum. It honestly makes the entire experience miserable for people who would like to actually discuss the show itself and not how it “ruined Star Trek” by existing.
Which is a recipe for disappointment.
Yup. Discovery and the production team cannot be discussed on their merits without other Trek alumni being tossed in as being better. So, Discovery cannot succeed or fail on its own terms it must be better because other shows did it better.
That's complete bullshit, get a chance and look at the negative from TOS and it was clear it was photographed as green, but through the inconsistent form of NTSC; a standard for US airwaves Kirk's tunic appeared yellow or worse a mustard color, never looked gold. This gold nonsense metastasize on episodes of Deep Space Nine.
I don't care if you don't like someone's work based on its merits alone. Those comments have nothing to do with you or anyone else simply expressing a criticism of her work. You go right on being relentlessly negative free from the scourge of having to be considerate of others.
A Star Trek uniform looks like whatever is designed at the time.
