But that is starting to change. A panel discussion organized by Fashion Group International of Los Angeles on June 3 with several well-known costume designers highlighted the various opportunities that are popping up when consumers fall in love with the costumes featured in popular TV shows or movies.
This crossover trend from film to fashion is good news for costume designers who do not receive movie residuals. Salvador Perez, president of the Costume Designers Guild, Local 892, in Los Angeles, said the guild has been pushing for years to get costume designers residuals, but the union has not been successful.
The costume designer for Return of the King said recently on the DVD that hours and hours were spent designing dresses for actress Miranda Otto and many of them are only in one scene and appear for mere seconds on screen. One dress appears only in medium shots, so all we see are the shoulders. What is the greatest frustration outside the sewing and fitting room as a costume designer when working on a film?

Join us for a riveting conversation with esteemed costume designers Lou Eyrich (The Prom, Ratched), Susan Lyall (The Trial of the Chicago 7, Rachel Getting Married), and Trish Summerville (Mank, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) on the art and craft of creating unique worlds through costumes, moderated by costume designer and professor Deborah Nadoolman Landis.
Lou Eyrich is a 14-time Emmy nominated costume designer behind the hit television series Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, Scream Queens, Feud, American Crime Story:The Assassination of Gianni Versace, Pose, Hollywood, Ratched, The Politician, and Netflix Films The Prom and The Boys in The Band. She has been nominated for a Costume Designers Guild Award 14 times, winning nine times. She has collaborated with Ryan Murphy for over 20 years and is now a producer overseeing all the costume departments on Ryan Murphy projects. Lou started her career, touring with bands, The Manhattan Transfer, Bette Midler and Prince.
When Susan Lyall arrived in New York 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.
John Landis directed the original film, and his wife Deborah Nadoolman Landis designed the costumes for the 1988 comedy, earning an Oscar nomination for her work on the clothes for the fictional African country of Zamunda.
Hall and fellow designers Angela Dean, and TJ Walker started the organization to promote and support the work of black fashion designers and costumers, as well as to raise money for students at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in downtown L.A. They handed out a $10,000 scholarship at the event.
From a young age, Landis knew she wanted to be a costume designer and was always thrilled by the black and white images from African Arts magazine. She relied on those images and others from her research to bring Zamunda to vibrant life on the screen through its inhabitants and their clothing.
Conferences play an important role in nurturing scholarship, contributing to the formations of professional practice, and defining future research directions, as well as in creating dynamic communities of scholarship around central discursive notions. Whilst the subject matter of performance costume studies is fairly clear--the costumed body in all its forms of production, representation and reception--the diversity of cultural and social contexts in which the costumed body is encountered is undeniably complex. Within popular culture, costume is now widely considered an integral part of the visual aspects of historic and contemporary theatre, film and events, as well as being increasingly a central focus in many other forms of cultural mediation, such as the online environment, museums, craft practices, performance art and political activism. The Critical Costume 2015 (CC15) conference and exhibition responded to this complexity with the aim of developing scholarship and design practices around the conception of costume as a means of 'critically interrogating the body in/as performance' (Pantouvaki 2015). (1) The specific aim of the 2015 conference was to investigate methodologies for researching costume in live performance, film and other media. The conference also aimed to explore the implications that various mediated forms such as film, digital contexts and wearable technologies have for contemporary costume practices, both in theoretical and practical applications. 2b1af7f3a8
