Sci-fi has long been a space for bold, avant-garde costume design, with its futuristic and dystopian aesthetics both shaping and being influenced by the fashion world.
“Mad Max” is a prime example, with its gritty, asymmetrical costumes influencing designers for decades. Costume designer Jenny Beavan, who worked on Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa, told L’Officiel that George Miller’s approach to costume design is deeply rooted in realism. “It’s not like Spandex, because it looks good or [is a] funny sort of spacesuit. It’s actually what they can find in the wasteland… Everything’s rotting, everything’s toxic, and they’re working with what they’ve got,” Beavan said. “Which doesn’t mean it can’t be inventive, but it has to have had a purpose.”
Fashion’s connection with the sci-fi genre extends to designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and Paco Rabanne, whose work on “The Fifth Element” continues to be referenced in recent projects. Costume designer Daniel Selon brought gothic, cyberpunk, and historical influences into “Agatha All Along,” drawing from Gareth Pugh, Craig Green, and Alexander McQueen. “These witchy, spooky creators… always have an air of darkness. There’s a thread of life [and] death,” Selon told L’Officiel of his approach to designing the costumes of the coven of witches in the Marvel spinoff.

The world of Suits is back, and this time with a West Coast twist! 👔 Suits LA’s new season recently premiered on NBC. The show brings a new firm, fresh faces, and high-stakes legal drama. Creator Aaron Korsh hadn’t planned another spinoff, but after Suits shattered Netflix streaming records, NBC saw an opportunity. This time, the focus is on Ted Black (played by Stephen Amell), a former New York federal prosecutor turned L.A. lawyer. While the original series thrived on the dynamic between Harvey and Mike, Suits LA takes a different approach, centering on a single lead navigating a more brooding, cutthroat legal landscape.
Though set in Los Angeles, the show still leans into its signature sharp suits and high-powered courtroom battles. CDG member Jolie Andreatta created the costume design for all eight seasons of Suits and joins the team back for this reboot. Julie shared with The New York Times, “We’re in courtrooms. We’re in the office. We wanted to be a little more sexy, edgier.”
With a mix of intrigue, ambition, and razor-sharp dialogue, Suits LA is ready to make its case. Catch up on episodes on Peacock. 💫

In the feature story, Glen Powell shares, “I really connected with Warren — he was so enthusiastic and passionate about how fashion could amplify the marketing and publicity of a movie. He wasn’t just looking at his job as separate from the making of the movie, but part of the same ride. He wasn’t just putting clothes on me; he was costume designing a press tour.”

“Embracing my identity has been a profound blessing.
I believe that an artist’s approach to design is deeply shaped by their unique perceptions and experiences.
With there being so few artists in film who share my background, I see it as an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to productions—one that enriches storytelling and broadens creative possibilities within any creative team in the industry.”

On January 27th, our current president Donald Trump fired Chair Gwynne Wilcox and member Jennifer Abruzzo, from the National Labor Relations Board. These firings have paralyzed the board’s ability to enforce labor laws and undermined the fundamental rights of private-sector workers, including the entertainment workers represented by IATSE. IATSE President Matt Loeb and the IATSE condemned this action on January 29. Gwynne Wilcox was removed despite her Senate-confirmed term extending until 2028. While this action is a clear violation of labor law and will be challenged in court, the IATSE needs your help now.
The labor movement urges every bipartisan member of Congress to sign on to a letter urging President Trump to reinstate Gwynne Wilcox. Help the Labor Movement and the IATSE and call your Congressperson and Senator telling them how much the NLRB has helped our members and to reinstate Gwynne Wilcox.

🌟 Spotlight on CDG member Warren Alfie Baker, who joins Glen Powell on the cover of the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter.
In the feature story, Glen Powell shares, “I really connected with Warren — he was so enthusiastic and passionate about how fashion could amplify the marketing and publicity of a movie. He wasn’t just looking at his job as separate from the making of the movie, but part of the same ride. He wasn’t just putting clothes on me; he was costume designing a press tour.”

A special congratulations to CDG member Paul Tazewell, who made history as the first Black man to win an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for the film “Wicked.”
Speaking backstage after his win, Tazewell reflected, “This has been the goal of my career. I’ve been designing costumes for over thirty-five years, and the whole way through, there was never a Black male that I saw.” He added, “To realize that that’s actually me, it becomes no place like home.”

“As a Black costume designer, I feel part of my strength is my sensitivity to how characters interact as a community.
It’s natural for me to take note of the emotions, interactions, and underlying relationships to the character’s environment.”

“Embracing my identity has been a profound blessing.
I believe that an artist’s approach to design is deeply shaped by their unique perceptions and experiences.
With there being so few artists in film who share my background, I see it as an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to productions—one that enriches storytelling and broadens creative possibilities within any creative team in the industry.”

On January 27th, our current president Donald Trump fired Chair Gwynne Wilcox and member Jennifer Abruzzo, from the National Labor Relations Board. These firings have paralyzed the board’s ability to enforce labor laws and undermined the fundamental rights of private-sector workers, including the entertainment workers represented by IATSE. IATSE President Matt Loeb and the IATSE condemned this action on January 29. Gwynne Wilcox was removed despite her Senate-confirmed term extending until 2028. While this action is a clear violation of labor law and will be challenged in court, the IATSE needs your help now.
The labor movement urges every bipartisan member of Congress to sign on to a letter urging President Trump to reinstate Gwynne Wilcox. Help the Labor Movement and the IATSE and call your Congressperson and Senator telling them how much the NLRB has helped our members and to reinstate Gwynne Wilcox.
