We are always excited when an article recognizes the lasting power of costume design. In the recent feature “60 best film costumes” in Harper’s BAZAAR some costume designers were credited, however all the costume designers deserved to be mentioned alongside their influential work. We have respectfully added all of the credits and are proud to count many of them among our members.

Please join us in our efforts to #CreditCostumeDesigners. Because, hey they’d be #NakedWithoutUs!

A look back at Labor Day 2025 in Wilmington, CA! ✨

CDG Political Action Coordinator Dana Rebecca Woods joined CDG advocate Bette P. Madden and our Union family at Banning Park for a day of solidarity and community, hosted by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.

IATSE, LiUNA, SEIU, Carpenters, Teamsters, SAG-AFTRA, Motion Picture Costumes, and many more unions came together to celebrate. Labor Day stands as a national tribute to the social and economic achievements of American workers and the strength they bring to our country.

The evening continued with a lively conversation with Bob and design director and producer Joe McFate, offering members a rare opportunity to ask firsthand about his artistry, vision, and the iconic designs that have defined decades of costume history and influenced the highest levels of fashion. Bob graciously stayed for photos with the audience following the event.

What do an engagement ring and a Bob Mackie original have in common? They both steal the show. 💍✨💫

The costume worn by @taylorswift was designed by Bob Mackie for the “Jewel Finale” of the Las Vegas show Jubilee! Produced by Don Arden; the show featured over 1,000 costumes based on Florenz Ziegfeld stage shows with elaborate couture costumes worn by the showgirls. It was the longest running showgirl spectacular in history and ran from 1981 to 2016.

The bra, undergarments, and armbands are all French wirework and backed with a blush fabric for a nude illusion. The bra and underwear have set stones and drops at the under-bust of the bra and the waistline of the underwear.

“The Hunting Wives” has captivated audiences with its Southern Gothic murder mystery, but it is the costumes that give the story its sharpest edge. CDG member and costume designer Heidi Higginbotham builds a visual world where the costumes reveal hidden truths in the show’s duplicitous East Texas society.

The costumes for Margo (Malin Akerman) are designed to command attention in shimmering gowns, silhouettes, and animal prints that reflect her confidence and volatility. Heidi’s costume arc for Sophie (Brittany Snow) begins as an East Coast outsider in a black dress and tentative sundresses gradually adopting a more Texan look that mirrors her growing integration into the clique’s dangerous orbit.

Stream all episodes now on @netflix. 💫

You know a Nolan Miller design when you see it. ❤️‍🔥

Dallas-based collector Adam Seirafi has long admired the legendary costume designer’s Dynasty-era glamour and Old Hollywood elegance. What began as a search for one of Miller’s original sketches took an unexpected turn when Adam instead came across the designer’s actual gowns and costumes. After acquiring four gowns, he finally secured his first sketch.

Today, his collection showcases the classic silhouettes, amplified glamour, and over-the-top decadence that defined Miller’s iconic work.

It’s FREAKIER this time! 💖

CDG member and costume designer Natalie O’Brien brings new life to the fan-favorite film 22 years later with the sequel “Freakier Friday.” Honoring Genevieve Tyrrell’s original “Freaky Friday” designs, Natalie designed costumes for the next chapter of fans while staying true to the spirit of this cult classic.

Natalie reflects on her experience working on the film.

“Designing the sequel to Freaky Friday meant building a bridge between legacy and reinvention. I revisited these well-loved characters, tracing their lives 20 years on and imagining how a sudden body swap would twist their style from the inside out. My lookbooks became personality maps, capturing the psychological whiplash of living in someone else’s skin. I layered in cues that felt both iconic and unexpected — flashes of Gaultier, whispers of Westwood — each choice loaded with intention. The result is a wardrobe that bends structure, flirts with rebellion, and revels in the chaos of becoming someone else.” 💕

When you click MENU > ABOUT > COSTUME ILLUSTRATORS, you’ll discover a newly updated gallery celebrating Illustrators!

Costume Illustrators are instrumental in translating the costume designer’s verbal cues and ideas into a fully formed version of the costume as it begins to take form. They provide continuous support to the designer through the process of multiple changes/iterations, as demanded by script or concept changes. Illustrators often assist in researching characters and gathering references. Costume Illustrators work in a variety of media, ranging from traditional watercolor on paper, to digital pencil and paint with elements of photo-collage, to digital clay and virtual cloth.

Research is a critical part of costume design and photography provides powerful insights and inspiration particularly when groups of people have been underrepresented. The CDG Diversity Committee was honored to view the exhibition Queer Lens: A History of Photography with curator Paul Martineau at the Getty, bringing together the art of photography and the art of costume design.

“This exhibition brings together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.”

On view at the Getty until September 28, 2025. ✨

Thank you @athenalawton and @waacostumedesign for the photos!

CDG member and award-winning costume designer Alix Friedberg has partnered with Macy’s for the debut collaboration of the retailer’s new private brand, On 34th! Inspired by her celebrated work on the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale, the On 34th | Alix Friedberg collection brings to life the playful elegance and vintage charm of 1960s Palm Beach. 🏖️💕

With 19 apparel styles and a range of accessories, the collection features mix-and-match pieces in vibrant colors, retro silhouettes, and bold prints that reflect Alix’s costume design expertise and storytelling through fashion.

“With this Macy’s collection, I wanted to offer styles that feel both elevated and playful, with pieces that encourage people to escape the ordinary and truly savor the easy, breezy spirit of summer. The vibrant palette and vintage inspiration from my work on Palm Royale are woven into every piece, and I hope wearers will feel the joy and creativity behind each design.”

The collection is now available at select Macy’s locations and on Macys.com. Congratulations @alixfriedberg! 💖

Through our #NakedWithoutUs campaign, the Costume Designers Guild continues to raise awareness about the ongoing omission of costume designer credits. This practice has serious consequences. Costume designers shape iconic characters, influence your future favorite Halloween costumes, impact the fashion industry, and leave a lasting cultural mark. Yet the creators behind these designs are often left uncredited.

At the same time, our campaign has made a difference. We have seen more studios, brands, and organizations recognize the vital work of costume designers and begin giving proper credit. This shift supports pay equity and creates the professional opportunities our members deserve.

Still, there is more work to do. A recent Vanity Fair article highlighted the costumes of “Murderbot” and suggested fashion to replicate the aesthetic, without once naming the designer, Carrie Grace.

Characters don’t make their costumes. Costume designers do.

Join us in calling for fair and consistent credit.

Dear Members, 
Together, we did it!

Legislation that expands the funding and modernization of California’s Film and Television Jobs Program have officially passed and been signed into law by Governor Newsom. We achieved this because of your advocacy, your stories, and your determination to protect the jobs that keep this industry alive.

With the hard work of our governor, the legislators, and proactive member action, the first stage in fortifying the entertainment industry here at home in California has been accomplished. Legislators have done what they promised. We know members are still out of work, so the second hurdle is studios doing their part by bringing productions back to California.

While we have our sights on the second phase, we ask you to take a moment to thank those who brought forth the passing of these landmark bills:

Send a quick thank-you letter to the lawmakers who made this happen. Visit the link in bio.

We are always excited when an article recognizes the lasting power of costume design. In the recent feature “60 best film costumes” in Harper’s BAZAAR some costume designers were credited, however all the costume designers deserved to be mentioned alongside their influential work. We have respectfully added all of the credits and are proud to count many of them among our members.

Please join us in our efforts to #CreditCostumeDesigners. Because, hey they’d be #NakedWithoutUs!

What do an engagement ring and a Bob Mackie original have in common? They both steal the show. 💍✨💫

The costume worn by @taylorswift was designed by Bob Mackie for the “Jewel Finale” of the Las Vegas show Jubilee! Produced by Don Arden; the show featured over 1,000 costumes based on Florenz Ziegfeld stage shows with elaborate couture costumes worn by the showgirls. It was the longest running showgirl spectacular in history and ran from 1981 to 2016.

The bra, undergarments, and armbands are all French wirework and backed with a blush fabric for a nude illusion. The bra and underwear have set stones and drops at the under-bust of the bra and the waistline of the underwear.

UGH, AS IF! 💖 The film “Clueless” has truly stood the test of time, and what’s forever imprinted in our minds is Mona May’s iconic costume design. To celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary, @itsmonamay joined @refinery29 at the Clueless Suite at Hollywood’s L’Ermitage Hotel to share the stories behind its most unforgettable costumes, including how she scored the now-legendary red @maisonalaia dress worn by Alicia Silverstone as Cher.

“The Hunting Wives” has captivated audiences with its Southern Gothic murder mystery, but it is the costumes that give the story its sharpest edge. CDG member and costume designer Heidi Higginbotham builds a visual world where the costumes reveal hidden truths in the show’s duplicitous East Texas society.

The costumes for Margo (Malin Akerman) are designed to command attention in shimmering gowns, silhouettes, and animal prints that reflect her confidence and volatility. Heidi’s costume arc for Sophie (Brittany Snow) begins as an East Coast outsider in a black dress and tentative sundresses gradually adopting a more Texan look that mirrors her growing integration into the clique’s dangerous orbit.

You know a Nolan Miller design when you see it. ❤️‍🔥

Dallas-based collector Adam Seirafi has long admired the legendary costume designer’s Dynasty-era glamour and Old Hollywood elegance. What began as a search for one of Miller’s original sketches took an unexpected turn when Adam instead came across the designer’s actual gowns and costumes. After acquiring four gowns, he finally secured his first sketch.

Today, his collection showcases the classic silhouettes, amplified glamour, and over-the-top decadence that defined Miller’s iconic work.

Follow @nolanmillercollector to learn more about upcoming exhibition opportunities.

It’s FREAKIER this time! 💖

CDG member and costume designer Natalie O’Brien brings new life to the fan-favorite film 22 years later with the sequel “Freakier Friday.” Honoring Genevieve Tyrrell’s original “Freaky Friday” designs, Natalie designed costumes for the next chapter of fans while staying true to the spirit of this cult classic.

Natalie reflects on her experience working on the film.

“Designing the sequel to Freaky Friday meant building a bridge between legacy and reinvention. I revisited these well-loved characters, tracing their lives 20 years on and imagining how a sudden body swap would twist their style from the inside out. My lookbooks became personality maps, capturing the psychological whiplash of living in someone else’s skin. I layered in cues that felt both iconic and unexpected — flashes of Gaultier, whispers of Westwood — each choice loaded with intention. The result is a wardrobe that bends structure, flirts with rebellion, and revels in the chaos of becoming someone else.” 💕

Have you heard? ✨ Our website
costumedesignersguild.com is always being reinvented!

When you click MENU > ABOUT > COSTUME ILLUSTRATORS, you’ll discover a newly updated gallery celebrating Illustrators!

Costume Illustrators are instrumental in translating the costume designer’s verbal cues and ideas into a fully formed version of the costume as it begins to take form. They provide continuous support to the designer through the process of multiple changes/iterations, as demanded by script or concept changes. Illustrators often assist in researching characters and gathering references. Costume Illustrators work in a variety of media, ranging from traditional watercolor on paper, to digital pencil and paint with elements of photo-collage, to digital clay and virtual cloth.

Research is a critical part of costume design and photography provides powerful insights and inspiration particularly when groups of people have been underrepresented. The CDG Diversity Committee was honored to view the exhibition Queer Lens: A History of Photography with curator Paul Martineau at the Getty, bringing together the art of photography and the art of costume design.

“This exhibition brings together a variety of evidence to explore the medium’s profound role in shaping and affirming the vibrant tapestry of the LGBTQ+ community.”

On view at the Getty until September 28, 2025. ✨

Thank you @athenalawton and @waacostumedesign for the photos!

CDG member and award-winning costume designer Alix Friedberg has partnered with Macy’s for the debut collaboration of the retailer’s new private brand, On 34th! Inspired by her celebrated work on the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale, the On 34th | Alix Friedberg collection brings to life the playful elegance and vintage charm of 1960s Palm Beach. 🏖️💕

With 19 apparel styles and a range of accessories, the collection features mix-and-match pieces in vibrant colors, retro silhouettes, and bold prints that reflect Alix’s costume design expertise and storytelling through fashion.

“With this Macy’s collection, I wanted to offer styles that feel both elevated and playful, with pieces that encourage people to escape the ordinary and truly savor the easy, breezy spirit of summer. The vibrant palette and vintage inspiration from my work on Palm Royale are woven into every piece, and I hope wearers will feel the joy and creativity behind each design.”

The collection is now available at select Macy’s locations and on Macys.com. Congratulations @alixfriedberg! 💖

Through our #NakedWithoutUs campaign, the Costume Designers Guild continues to raise awareness about the ongoing omission of costume designer credits. This practice has serious consequences. Costume designers shape iconic characters, influence your future favorite Halloween costumes, impact the fashion industry, and leave a lasting cultural mark. Yet the creators behind these designs are often left uncredited.

At the same time, our campaign has made a difference. We have seen more studios, brands, and organizations recognize the vital work of costume designers and begin giving proper credit. This shift supports pay equity and creates the professional opportunities our members deserve.

Still, there is more work to do. A recent Vanity Fair article highlighted the costumes of “Murderbot” and suggested fashion to replicate the aesthetic, without once naming the designer, Carrie Grace.

Characters don’t make their costumes. Costume designers do.

Join us in calling for fair and consistent credit.

Dear Members, 
Together, we did it!

Legislation that expands the funding and modernization of California’s Film and Television Jobs Program have officially passed and been signed into law by Governor Newsom. We achieved this because of your advocacy, your stories, and your determination to protect the jobs that keep this industry alive.

With the hard work of our governor, the legislators, and proactive member action, the first stage in fortifying the entertainment industry here at home in California has been accomplished. Legislators have done what they promised. We know members are still out of work, so the second hurdle is studios doing their part by bringing productions back to California.

While we have our sights on the second phase, we ask you to take a moment to thank those who brought forth the passing of these landmark bills:

Send a quick thank-you letter to the lawmakers who made this happen. Visit the link in bio.

We’re also deeply grateful to our CDG Comic-Con committee, incredible volunteers, and VP & Comic-Con Director Ivy Thaide for making this event possible.

Costume design truly cast a spell on Comic-Con this year. 🔮
