The COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD was created to help raise the stature of the Costume Design profession within the entertainment community. It is Costume Designers who transform the words of the script into visual imagery and they create the look of characters by illuminating the characters with accuracy and integrity, thus enhancing the story. This is an incalculable contribution to every motion picture, television show, or commercial.
“The Costume Designers Guild was founded in 1953 by a group of 30 passionate motion picture Costume Designers who found strength in joining forces, responding to the changing needs of the motion picture industry. Today its membership includes approximately 750 Costume Designers, Commercial Costume Designers/Stylists, Assistant Costume Designers, and Illustrators working throughout the world in every kind of moving picture including motion picture, television, animation, commercials, and music video.”
