Francis Ford Coppola’s “Dracula” is a visual masterpiece that remains a must-see for Halloween. 👻
With a limited budget, Coppola decided, “the costumes will be the set,” and brought in the iconic Eiko Ishioka to make the film come to life.
Inspired by her work as an art director and graphic artist, especially her unforgettable Apocalypse Now poster, Coppola knew she was the one to transform Bram Stoker’s tale into a cinematic feast.
Eiko’s designs blend Eastern and Western influences, drawing inspiration from insects, lizards, and even armadillos. Her creations range from haute couture to traditional Japanese formalwear, winning her an Oscar in 1994.

Is Halloween season complete without a Jordan Peele marathon? 🎃 The talented costume designer and CDG member Nadine Haders is responsible for the unforgettable creations in “Get Out” (2017).
Nadine carefully designed the costume of Chris’s (Daniel Kaluuya) character for his upstate trip, layering him in shades that reflect his identity and emotional journey. “Blue was the color of his urban life, his true self,” Nadine shared with Vogue. The mid-blue henley and dark jeans form the base of Chris’s costume, while the gray hoodie adds an intentional touch, representing a space “between black and white.”

Spooky season isn’t complete without revisiting Halloween classics, and “Hocus Pocus 2” is a must-watch. 🔮 Hocus Pocus has long been essential fall viewing for any Halloween fan, beloved for its iconic cast, memorable music, sharp humor, and unforgettable costumes. With Salvador Perez leading the costume design for the sequel, the film brings magic to life once again. Perez pays homage to Mary E. Vogt’s original designs while creating costumes for the Sanderson Sisters and a new generation of witches.
Salvador shares details on the symbolism found on the costumes, “We talked about what the symbols were on the costumes and their meaning. In the original Winnifred Sanderson costumes, there was a bit of a print technique used, and I thought, well, it’s the 1650s; we could have done lavish embroidery. I started investigating embroidery and found out how expensive it was. But when I got the samples, I didn’t care… they were so beautiful!”

Practical Magic still has us under a spell over 25 years later! 🔮 The cult classic starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, with unforgettable costume designs by Judianna Makovsky, inspires fall fashion to this day and makes for the perfect film to watch annually during the Halloween season.
Judianna shared with @ElleUSA that she met individually with each actor to figure out “how to make them fit in the same world, but each has their distinct look.” She shares that the characters of “Practical Magic” were more subtle with their costumes than other witches in pop culture. “Everybody knew that they were witches, but they weren’t putting it out there.”

Governor Newsom announced a major proposal to address the economic crisis in the entertainment industry with tax incentives of $750M to bring film & television back to California. He said about a recent survey of tourists ‘four in ten people that have never been to California came to California because they saw it onscreen.’
CDG Executive Director Brigitta Romanov was honored to have the opportunity to speak at this press junket with many people from the entertainment industry in attendance this afternoon. She addressed as many issues possible that are impacting Hollywood locals members. We will be sharing more press updates from this event!

The Halloween countdown has begun! 👻 “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is set to become a new Halloween classic, featuring the incredible work of costume designer and CDG member Colleen Atwood.
Colleen was tasked with creating a twisted underworld filled with ghoulish beings and exaggerated fashions, and she collaborated closely with director Tim Burton to ensure the sequel felt fresh yet familiar. “Tim and I have worked together a lot, so we talked about clothes for about five minutes,” Atwood shares. “We wanted to keep it simple, graphic, and clean.”
Each character’s look reflects the manner of their death, creating a visually striking and eerie atmosphere. Atwood’s work draws on the same whimsical and dark aesthetic that made the original film (designed by Aggie Guerard) a cult classic while updating it for a modern audience.

Negar Ali Kline, the costume designer and CDG member behind Netflix’s hit series “Nobody Wants This,” brings the Angeleno character of Joanne’s (Kristen Bell) bold and fearless personality to life through costumes! Inspired by the series creator Erin Foster’s real-life love story and the aesthetic of the Favorite Daughter brand, Negar creates a visual contrast between Joanne’s world and that of the character Noah, the “hot rabbi” played by Adam Brody. By using poppy colors and pastels for Joanne, she sets her apart from the jewel tones favored by Noah’s family, illustrating the blending of their lives as the series progresses. ♥️
Negar also drew inspiration from iconic Los Angeles ‘It Girls’ like the Hadid sisters, Alexa Chung, and the Foster sisters themselves, infusing the costumes with a chameleon-like versatility. “She lives out loud, she’s bold, she’s fearless,” Negar says. “She has this confidence. She’s not afraid of standing out. That’s why, I think, we chose the pieces that we did. Because they conveyed that sort of fearlessness.”
From the symbolic red skirt in the temple scene to the statement teal dress at the bat mitzvah, Negar’s costume designs pay homage to iconic rom-com heroines while establishing the leads as modern, multi-dimensional character.

🌟 Costume designer and CDG member Cris Araujo began her work for Netflix’s “Uglies” through a creative collaboration with director McG, where she meticulously developed mood boards to bring the vision to life. Starring Chase Stokes, Joey King, Keith Powers, and Brianne Tju, the film explores a dystopian world where a mandatory procedure erases physical differences, making everyone conform to an ideal of beauty.
Cris shares, “Designing three distinct worlds within a single film was an incredibly exciting challenge. From sleek, neoprene, white 3D jackets and anime-inspired school uniforms to the gritty, post-apocalyptic clothing of the Smokies, as well as the glamour of the Pretties, we explored a full range of styles—from pristine to rough and worn, often juggling both clean and aged looks on the same shoot day.
It’s hard to pick a favorite—Sci-Fi offers so many appealing layers. Some of the ‘simpler’ costumes, like the Uglies uniforms and Dr. Cable’s looks, required the most thought. The anime-inspired Uglies uniforms were versatile enough for each character to show their personality. From aged sweaters to pleated hoverboard suits, Tally’s neat, tucked-in look reflected her desire to fit in, while Shay’s rebellious spirit shone through her tomboyish style.
I’m so grateful to have been part of this project and for my incredible team who helped bring these worlds to life, including our amazing illustrator @sophia.canning.”

“Living on an island allowed my mind to grow in all directions. I was submerged in multiple cultures and languages. Creativity flowed effortlessly, and being resourceful was a way of life. These are all key elements in costume design. I feel my appreciation for other’s expertise allows me the opportunity to collaborate with artists on an authentic page and help them create memorable moments by becoming their character or stepping into their element as an artist/performer by developing one-of-a-kind costumes and iconic looks. The best feeling is seeing it all come together and the enjoyment of audiences and diverse fans worldwide. I hope I can inspire others to begin or continue their journey through my story!” – Dawn Ritz, Costume Designer 🌟

Costume designer and CDG member Charlese Antoinette brings a distinct touch to Doug Liman’s “The Instigators,” blending function with authenticity for the fast-paced Apple TV+ heist thriller. 💥 Balancing the needs of a film that spans both comedy and suspense, Charlese’s designs also paid tribute to Boston and “The Town,” drawing on vintage aesthetics and workwear to bring characters like Rory (Matt Damon), Cobby (Casey Affleck), and Scalvo (Jack Harlow) to life.
Charlese shares, “one jumpsuit we built custom because [Liman] wanted it to have a little bit of reflective quality to it. He had this vision of it having a little bit of sheen. They were printed, built, painted. Basically, there’s a standard conductor stripe that we over-dyed blue because I wanted him to have a textured stripe. And the duct tape on the back was a last-minute addition during the camera test.”
With a short, eight-week production timeline, Charlese had to manage two separate crews across New York City and Boston, making sure each design captured the gritty, lived-in feel of the characters. The intentional process of aging down new fabrics to look worn and distressed were crucial to the film’s dynamic visual storytelling.

Costume designer and CDG member QueenSylvia Akuchie continues to push the boundaries of representation and storytelling through her work on Peacock’s “Bel-Air” (2023-2024). 💫 She has masterfully brought the series’ characters to life with an intentional look at silhouettes, her meticulous eye for customization, and the deliberate use of Los Angeles designers and designers of color. Her approach goes beyond the surface, ensuring every character’s personality and journey are reflected in their costumes while also providing a platform for designers like Ron Bass, Baba Jagne, and Ozwald Boateng. For QueenSylvia, this work is deeply personal, as she draws inspiration from her Nigerian heritage and her late mother when designing characters like Aunt Viv.
QueenSylvia shares, “I want everyone to see themselves represented no matter where you are in the world, no matter how you create art. I want to make people feel seen and heard. I think that’s why we’re all living and why we’re here in community. We need that.”

Jealousy pushes people to their limits, and “Killer Heat” delivers all the intensity in its @primemovies release, complete with stunning costume design by CDG member Jennifer Starzyk. ❤️🔥 Jennifer collaborated with a global team, working across the U.S., Serbia, Turkey, England, and Greece to bring the film to life.
Jennifer shares, “Without a doubt, filming in the idyllic location of Greece was the biggest costume design dream come true. “Killer Heat” is a murder mystery set on the stunning Mediterranean island of Crete. The key design elements I leaned into were neo-noir and quiet luxury. One of the biggest challenges was truly being responsible for pieces that traditionally props take care of in the States. Watches, rings, and glasses fell into costume territory, and finding the right pieces (in mults!) became a project within itself to ensure the characters looked like billionaires down to the details. David Yurman generously worked with us for Shailene Woodley’s character. We partnered with Jenna at Karactergroup for sunglasses and luxury watches.
I also knew I wanted to use Greek companies as much as possible for authenticity. I was beyond grateful for the exquisite jewelry Zolotas lent us, along with Zues + Dione for clothing. Both companies have an ethos of ancient world meets modern Grecian design. Efcharistó! The overall crew consisted of a handful of Americans: 2 producers, 2 actors, myself, and our costume supervisor Emily Egge. ACD Aileen Abercrombie prepped in Los Angeles and overlapped with the talented local Greek ACD Christina Lardikou. It was cool to be a part of a crew that came together from all over the globe - Greece, Serbia, Turkey, England, and our director, Philippe Lacôte, from The Ivory Coast- and collaborate on this fun whodunnit. Yamas costume crew!”

“A project I have enjoyed working on is “Dancing With The Stars.” DWTS has had a “Latin Night” themed episode every season because the latin style is one of the two main categories of ballroom dance.
I especially enjoyed Season 32 Episode 2. It was the song choices of hits by Celia Cruz, Enrique Iglesias, Rosalia, Bad Bunny, & Daddy Yankee - to name a few - that got me so excited for these sambas, cha-chas, rumbas & salsas. These songs filled me with bright, bold inspiration. Fabric shopping for this episode felt like it was in my blood.
I am strongly informed by music in all of my work. Perhaps I can attribute this to my heritage. My mother is from Venezuela & my father is from Bolivia. I am beyond thankful for them.” - Karina Torrico, Assistant Costume Designer 💫

Francis Ford Coppola’s “Dracula” is a visual masterpiece that remains a must-see for Halloween. 👻
With a limited budget, Coppola decided, “the costumes will be the set,” and brought in the iconic Eiko Ishioka to make the film come to life.
Inspired by her work as an art director and graphic artist, especially her unforgettable Apocalypse Now poster, Coppola knew she was the one to transform Bram Stoker’s tale into a cinematic feast.
Eiko’s designs blend Eastern and Western influences, drawing inspiration from insects, lizards, and even armadillos. Her creations range from haute couture to traditional Japanese formalwear, winning her an Oscar in 1994.

Is Halloween season complete without a Jordan Peele marathon? 🎃 The talented costume designer and CDG member Nadine Haders is responsible for the unforgettable creations in “Get Out” (2017).
Nadine carefully designed the costume of Chris’s (Daniel Kaluuya) character for his upstate trip, layering him in shades that reflect his identity and emotional journey. “Blue was the color of his urban life, his true self,” Nadine shared with Vogue. The mid-blue henley and dark jeans form the base of Chris’s costume, while the gray hoodie adds an intentional touch, representing a space “between black and white.”

Spooky season isn’t complete without revisiting Halloween classics, and “Hocus Pocus 2” is a must-watch. 🔮 Hocus Pocus has long been essential fall viewing for any Halloween fan, beloved for its iconic cast, memorable music, sharp humor, and unforgettable costumes. With Salvador Perez leading the costume design for the sequel, the film brings magic to life once again. Perez pays homage to Mary E. Vogt’s original designs while creating costumes for the Sanderson Sisters and a new generation of witches.
Salvador shares details on the symbolism found on the costumes, “We talked about what the symbols were on the costumes and their meaning. In the original Winnifred Sanderson costumes, there was a bit of a print technique used, and I thought, well, it’s the 1650s; we could have done lavish embroidery. I started investigating embroidery and found out how expensive it was. But when I got the samples, I didn’t care… they were so beautiful!”

Practical Magic still has us under a spell over 25 years later! 🔮 The cult classic starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, with unforgettable costume designs by Judianna Makovsky, inspires fall fashion to this day and makes for the perfect film to watch annually during the Halloween season.
Judianna shared with @ElleUSA that she met individually with each actor to figure out “how to make them fit in the same world, but each has their distinct look.” She shares that the characters of “Practical Magic” were more subtle with their costumes than other witches in pop culture. “Everybody knew that they were witches, but they weren’t putting it out there.”

The Halloween countdown has begun! 👻 “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is set to become a new Halloween classic, featuring the incredible work of costume designer and CDG member Colleen Atwood.
Colleen was tasked with creating a twisted underworld filled with ghoulish beings and exaggerated fashions, and she collaborated closely with director Tim Burton to ensure the sequel felt fresh yet familiar. “Tim and I have worked together a lot, so we talked about clothes for about five minutes,” Atwood shares. “We wanted to keep it simple, graphic, and clean.”
Each character’s look reflects the manner of their death, creating a visually striking and eerie atmosphere. Atwood’s work draws on the same whimsical and dark aesthetic that made the original film (designed by Aggie Guerard) a cult classic while updating it for a modern audience.

Negar Ali Kline, the costume designer and CDG member behind Netflix’s hit series “Nobody Wants This,” brings the Angeleno character of Joanne’s (Kristen Bell) bold and fearless personality to life through costumes! Inspired by the series creator Erin Foster’s real-life love story and the aesthetic of the Favorite Daughter brand, Negar creates a visual contrast between Joanne’s world and that of the character Noah, the “hot rabbi” played by Adam Brody. By using poppy colors and pastels for Joanne, she sets her apart from the jewel tones favored by Noah’s family, illustrating the blending of their lives as the series progresses. ♥️
Negar also drew inspiration from iconic Los Angeles ‘It Girls’ like the Hadid sisters, Alexa Chung, and the Foster sisters themselves, infusing the costumes with a chameleon-like versatility. “She lives out loud, she’s bold, she’s fearless,” Negar says. “She has this confidence. She’s not afraid of standing out. That’s why, I think, we chose the pieces that we did. Because they conveyed that sort of fearlessness.”
From the symbolic red skirt in the temple scene to the statement teal dress at the bat mitzvah, Negar’s costume designs pay homage to iconic rom-com heroines while establishing the leads as modern, multi-dimensional character.

🌟 Costume designer and CDG member Cris Araujo began her work for Netflix’s “Uglies” through a creative collaboration with director McG, where she meticulously developed mood boards to bring the vision to life. Starring Chase Stokes, Joey King, Keith Powers, and Brianne Tju, the film explores a dystopian world where a mandatory procedure erases physical differences, making everyone conform to an ideal of beauty.
Cris shares, “Designing three distinct worlds within a single film was an incredibly exciting challenge. From sleek, neoprene, white 3D jackets and anime-inspired school uniforms to the gritty, post-apocalyptic clothing of the Smokies, as well as the glamour of the Pretties, we explored a full range of styles—from pristine to rough and worn, often juggling both clean and aged looks on the same shoot day.
It’s hard to pick a favorite—Sci-Fi offers so many appealing layers. Some of the ‘simpler’ costumes, like the Uglies uniforms and Dr. Cable’s looks, required the most thought. The anime-inspired Uglies uniforms were versatile enough for each character to show their personality. From aged sweaters to pleated hoverboard suits, Tally’s neat, tucked-in look reflected her desire to fit in, while Shay’s rebellious spirit shone through her tomboyish style.
I’m so grateful to have been part of this project and for my incredible team who helped bring these worlds to life, including our amazing illustrator @sophia.canning.”

“Living on an island allowed my mind to grow in all directions. I was submerged in multiple cultures and languages. Creativity flowed effortlessly, and being resourceful was a way of life. These are all key elements in costume design. I feel my appreciation for other’s expertise allows me the opportunity to collaborate with artists on an authentic page and help them create memorable moments by becoming their character or stepping into their element as an artist/performer by developing one-of-a-kind costumes and iconic looks. The best feeling is seeing it all come together and the enjoyment of audiences and diverse fans worldwide. I hope I can inspire others to begin or continue their journey through my story!” – Dawn Ritz, Costume Designer 🌟

Costume designer and CDG member Charlese Antoinette brings a distinct touch to Doug Liman’s “The Instigators,” blending function with authenticity for the fast-paced Apple TV+ heist thriller. 💥 Balancing the needs of a film that spans both comedy and suspense, Charlese’s designs also paid tribute to Boston and “The Town,” drawing on vintage aesthetics and workwear to bring characters like Rory (Matt Damon), Cobby (Casey Affleck), and Scalvo (Jack Harlow) to life.
Charlese shares, “one jumpsuit we built custom because [Liman] wanted it to have a little bit of reflective quality to it. He had this vision of it having a little bit of sheen. They were printed, built, painted. Basically, there’s a standard conductor stripe that we over-dyed blue because I wanted him to have a textured stripe. And the duct tape on the back was a last-minute addition during the camera test.”
With a short, eight-week production timeline, Charlese had to manage two separate crews across New York City and Boston, making sure each design captured the gritty, lived-in feel of the characters. The intentional process of aging down new fabrics to look worn and distressed were crucial to the film’s dynamic visual storytelling.

Costume designer and CDG member QueenSylvia Akuchie continues to push the boundaries of representation and storytelling through her work on Peacock’s “Bel-Air” (2023-2024). 💫 She has masterfully brought the series’ characters to life with an intentional look at silhouettes, her meticulous eye for customization, and the deliberate use of Los Angeles designers and designers of color. Her approach goes beyond the surface, ensuring every character’s personality and journey are reflected in their costumes while also providing a platform for designers like Ron Bass, Baba Jagne, and Ozwald Boateng. For QueenSylvia, this work is deeply personal, as she draws inspiration from her Nigerian heritage and her late mother when designing characters like Aunt Viv.
QueenSylvia shares, “I want everyone to see themselves represented no matter where you are in the world, no matter how you create art. I want to make people feel seen and heard. I think that’s why we’re all living and why we’re here in community. We need that.”

Jealousy pushes people to their limits, and “Killer Heat” delivers all the intensity in its @primemovies release, complete with stunning costume design by CDG member Jennifer Starzyk. ❤️🔥 Jennifer collaborated with a global team, working across the U.S., Serbia, Turkey, England, and Greece to bring the film to life.
Jennifer shares, “Without a doubt, filming in the idyllic location of Greece was the biggest costume design dream come true. “Killer Heat” is a murder mystery set on the stunning Mediterranean island of Crete. The key design elements I leaned into were neo-noir and quiet luxury. One of the biggest challenges was truly being responsible for pieces that traditionally props take care of in the States. Watches, rings, and glasses fell into costume territory, and finding the right pieces (in mults!) became a project within itself to ensure the characters looked like billionaires down to the details. David Yurman generously worked with us for Shailene Woodley’s character. We partnered with Jenna at Karactergroup for sunglasses and luxury watches.
I also knew I wanted to use Greek companies as much as possible for authenticity. I was beyond grateful for the exquisite jewelry Zolotas lent us, along with Zues + Dione for clothing. Both companies have an ethos of ancient world meets modern Grecian design. Efcharistó! The overall crew consisted of a handful of Americans: 2 producers, 2 actors, myself, and our costume supervisor Emily Egge. ACD Aileen Abercrombie prepped in Los Angeles and overlapped with the talented local Greek ACD Christina Lardikou. It was cool to be a part of a crew that came together from all over the globe - Greece, Serbia, Turkey, England, and our director, Philippe Lacôte, from The Ivory Coast- and collaborate on this fun whodunnit. Yamas costume crew!”

“A project I have enjoyed working on is “Dancing With The Stars.” DWTS has had a “Latin Night” themed episode every season because the latin style is one of the two main categories of ballroom dance.
I especially enjoyed Season 32 Episode 2. It was the song choices of hits by Celia Cruz, Enrique Iglesias, Rosalia, Bad Bunny, & Daddy Yankee - to name a few - that got me so excited for these sambas, cha-chas, rumbas & salsas. These songs filled me with bright, bold inspiration. Fabric shopping for this episode felt like it was in my blood.
I am strongly informed by music in all of my work. Perhaps I can attribute this to my heritage. My mother is from Venezuela & my father is from Bolivia. I am beyond thankful for them.” - Karina Torrico, Assistant Costume Designer 💫
