UCLA: Costume designers don’t just dress characters — they help create the people audiences see on screen.
That idea was front and center Saturday when the five nominees for this year’s Academy Award for best costume design gathered in Hollywood for the 16th annual “Sketch to Screen” panel presented by the UCLA David C. Copley Center for Costume Design at the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television.

This article looked at how costume design creates backstory and how the idea that it should has become increasingly important and well known, and the movies nominated for oscars this year really showcase this idea. One part of the article that I found particularly interesting is when they say ““Production design creates the world,” she said. “We create the people who live in it.” I thought this was really quite cool because on the surface level actors create the people living in it. But when you think about it a little bit more, actors create the people, and costume designers make sure that they live in the world created byt the other designers. This article said so many interesting things that I really agree with about the importance of costume design in creating characters, and it also talked about how costume design works with other departments to create something beautiful.
