We had a fantastic time celebrating classic cinema at our CDG Movie Night in partnership with Warner Bros. and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Archives and Preservation Services at their beautiful theater. ♥️
Attendees enjoyed a matinee screening of “Rebel Without a Cause,” followed by a fascinating Q&A with legendary costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, Warner Bros. senior archivist Jeff Briggs, and film and fashion historian Kimberly Truhler, moderated by CDG Communications Director Anna Wyckoff.
Most studios didn’t see the value of costumes beyond their time on screen. It took vision to recognize the immense cultural value of what was previously considered ephemera and to save it. We commend the Warner Bros. Archives for their work preserving the past and present work of costume designers and their teams for the future. It was thrilling to see original costumes and reproductions exhibited at the screening.
This event wouldn’t be possible without the tremendous efforts of our our CDG Movie Night Co-Chairs Jennifer Soulages and Mikael Sharafyan. Thank you to the entire Warner Bros team. 💫

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 🌟

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 🌟
