“Looking back now, I am like: that’s weird,” says Cathryn Wagner, the woman responsible for those OG dresses-over-jeans red-carpet moments.
Wagner, 63, chalks up her contribution to the channel’s aesthetic in one word: colour. And lots of it. “When I was first working on the Disney Channel, someone told me, ‘You have to understand that live-action shows are basically competing with cartoons for kids’ attention,” she says. Thus, colours like turquoise, hot pink, and emerald green became reliable, crowd-pleasing go-tos for Wagner’s shopping hauls. “The producers always liked it when I tried that stuff out.
Working on the children’s shows also forced Wagner to come up with creative solutions to service their wackier story lines. She recalls one episode where London Tipton turns into a vending machine – a plot point Wagner confesses she’s still a little confused by. “The writer had seen something on the internet about this Japanese… I don’t know,” she sighs.
