hile consumed with the economy and the elections in

a country moving from turmoil to hope, a theme for

this issue just never surfaced.Which is why I thought

wed put a memorable candidate on the cover who

would at the very least,make us smile.The transformation of Dustin

Hoffman was made largely in part by Ruth Morleys designs for

Dorothy Michaels in Tootsie.Morleys passing in 1991 left a legacy of

some 50-plus films.Morley was nominated for an Oscar(The Miracle

Worker, 1962) and Emmy (Death of a Salesman, 1985) and a BAFTA Award for

Tootsie,1982. She designed the contemporary films:The Hustler(1961),The Miracle

Worker, 1962 & 1979, Taxi Driver (1976),Annie Hall(1977), Kramer vs.Kramer

(1979),One Fromthe Heart(1982),Tootsie (1982),Ghost(1990),The Prince of Tides

(1991). If you are interested in further

exploring Morleys memorable career, her

estate donated a collection of her scripts,

correspondence and drawings to the

Academy of Motion Pictures Margaret

Herrick Library;all available for reference.

The launch ofMeet the Assistants is

finally here. New regular contributor

JR Hawbaker,an Assistant Designer herself,

has enthusiastically taken on the task of

introducing you to the right handof the Costume Designer. I hope you appreciate

her insights and her style as much as we do.

Whats On/Whats Outwill now be calledWhats On/Whats In. Why didntwe think of it before? A much more positive headline.

You may have noticed that Boldface Names has grown into a bear of a column.

We love collecting your submissions and researching your Boldface news as much as

you like reading it.News you submit and news we research.It takes four people to

compile and edit Boldface Names.Help us make it easier by submitting all new work,

press and new businesses in short concise entries.While we appreciate every detail

of your project,it makes it harder for us to decide what to print if your entry is more

suited for a full-length feature than a Boldface entry. Also,you know if youve already

made it to press. If its been in print, please don t resubmi t. If its a new project,

new busi ness or a new Des igner, ACD or Illustrator on an existing show,we will

gladly include it.Please include high-resolution photos whenever possible.Note: we

cannot include non-union work.

THANKYOU


5/248 The Costume Designer Fall 2008

his October marks the first year anniversary of the new

CDG Executive Board, Officers and my Presidency.I was

going to devote my letter to our accomplishments, as there

is much to report in my view.But as the saying goes best-

laid plans often go astray!The consequences of a nation

in chaos and confusion!By the time the fall issue is in your mailbox, our fate and that of

the country will have been decided with the choice of Barack

Obama for President.Even with this historic vote for change,there is

no doubt that we are headed for hard times,the likes of which our generation has never

experienced. It began this October with the crash of the market, and its uncertain

when it will improve.

I grew up in Japan. In 1953, I came to the U.S.,and raised two young children dur-

ing the Vietnam War with a mothers fear for their future; I especially worried about my

son, who in a few short years would become eligible for the draft.As recently as 2004,

my daughter,a mother of two young children herself, was sent to Iraq for 18 months to

fight this meaningless war.By then,I thought Id seen enough global happenings affect

so many peoples lives, what more could possibly surprise me? What happened in

October,t he collapse of the economy worldwide proved that I was wrong! I could

never have anticipated this. We all have to tighten our belts!is the mantra that we

will be hearing from everywhere that we must understand and follow.

If this message sounds like a gloomy and depressing forecast, thats not my inten-

tion. Its just a warning for all that we do have to be aware of the situation. We have to

consider what we value and recognize and prioritize what is most important to each ofus.Like many,the CDGs investment values have declined.Still,the CDGs finances are

intact and quite safe under our watch. Less income from investments maybe, and yet

new memberships are up.So there is a silver lining.Who can figure?

Our first Budget Committee meeting was the end of October, and I give you my

assurance that our Education Committees budget was our highest priority. As you

know,it is my passion and based on this years success, we may even increase the edu-

cation budget by making cuts in less crucial areas.Dont call us Scrooges just yet.Cheryl

Downey and I have already begun to organize our Second Annual Holiday Party

(December 6) that was such a success last year. This event benefits all members so

weve made sure to allocate enough to celebrate a new year of HOPE with a great hol-

iday party to let a little light into our spirits!

This year,Thanksgiving will have a special meaning for all of us indeed. Have a

happy and wonderful day of celebration with your families and friends!

Dear CDG Brothers and Sisters, What Does anAssistant Designer Do?

e are

t h r i l l e d

that our

Costume

Designers are seeing the

benefit of hiring an

Assistant Designer.TV designers are discovering

what film designers have known for years; agood Assistant Designer is worth his or her

weight in gold.Television shows are bigger and

more demanding than ever and an ACD has

become a necessity on most shows.

An Assistant Designer can do anything a

Designer does under the direction of the

Designer:

ACDs can represent the artistic ideals of the

Costume Designer with all departments

when the designer is not available

Research for contemporary and period proj-

ects, uniforms,and regional costumes

Assist with script analysis and setting up cos-

tume charts or boards

Be an extra set of eyes and ears in fittings and

production meetings

Communicate with set dressing, camera,

stunts, props, hair, make-up, and special

effects, to let the designer know any special

requirements and visa versa

Swatch fabrics and communicate the applica-

tion of fabrics

Fit extras or day players when the CD is occu-

pied elsewhere

Communicate with principal and extras cast-

ing and make the calls for sizes

Be the Designers liaison with the workroom

Shop for accessories or entire looks under

the Designers direction

Contact vendors for product placement

Every situation and job is unique,but an Assistant

Costume Designer is a valuable asset to any pro-

duction. The Costume Designers Guild is proud

to have 133 talented Assistant Designers to help

you on your next project.Call the offi ce for a listor go to the website members area to check out

the available members.The Assistant Designers

are also featured in a new regular column in the

magazine starting with this issue.

Assistant ExecutiveDirectors Report

est you worry about your MPI pension,let me assure

you the Plans prudent investment guidelines have

resulted in losses far smaller than those in other

defined benefit plans across the country.In fact, the

MPI Pension Plan is in the top 1% of jointly (labor and manage-

ment) bargained and managed defined benefit plans. This

means our MPI Plan solidly exceeds minimum funding guide-

lines and,for example, 13th- and 14th-month checks are again

being issued to all retirees for 2008. Do you realize how fortunate we are to havesuch security in these daunting economic times?

Nevertheless,as of October 10, 2008, the Pension Plans portfolio was down

19% and the Individual Account Plan was down 15%.Losses and gains are actuari-

ally spread over several years,which will help to even out this bad news. But the

Pension Protection Act requires the monies coming into the Plans go first to fund

the Pension Plan and secondly to fund the Health Plan.To be realistic, this may

mean that modifications in our sterling Health Plan will be f iscally required.

This brings us once again to the importance of phoning in every newly land-

ed non-union job you take.It is essential that you fax us your start paper work,so

the IA can try to organize the show. Once turnedto a union shoot, benefits get

paid into the Plans.

If you land a job out of town on a union show in another IA Locals jurisdic-

tion, call our office for its number and Business Rep.When you arrive on location,

call and introduce yourself to that Business Rep.Technically,the IA Constitution

requires you receive permission to work in another IA Locals jurisdiction.

Permission is routinely given and this professional protocol will help you in more

ways than just local staffing. Make sure that if hired under the Basic Agreement here

in Los Angeles,your benefits are paid to MPI.Each of you and the Guild office play a vital role in making sure the Plans

receive all the monies due

them for our common good.

Lets count our MPI blessings!

Speaking of gratitude, a

sincere thank-you to Karyn

Wagner and Dana Onel who

resigned from the Eboard for

work reasons,and to Marilyn

Matthews,our new Treasurer,

and Felipe Sanchez,the new

Illustrator Board member,who

are filling their well-worn vol-

unteer shoes. Come meet

them at the 2nd CDG Holiday

Party December 6!

With Gratitude,

improving their lives,said Thomas Short.

President Elect Barack Obamas

theme,Vote for Change,brough t out the volunteer spirit in CDG members to a degree unseen in past

elections. Members clearly wanted to make a difference in this

presidential election by phone banking on Thursday evenings at

I.A.T.S.E. Local 80 and elsewhere. Calls went out to Colorado

union members who were appreciative of hearing from fellow

brothers and sisters in the labor movement;especially informing

them about three anti-worker amendments on the Colorado bal-

lot. We then turned our attention to another swing state,Nevada,

whose working families are also struggling in this time of eco-

nomic turmoil and uncertainty.

Thank you to Sharon Day for leading the charge as the

CDG Obama Coordinator, and rousing the membership to

action.Sharon attended all six phone-bank evenings at Local 80

and was joined by Betty Madden, Diah Wymont, Beth Pasternak,

Sandy Ampon,Jacqueline St.Anne,Eric Berg,Terry Gordon,April

Ferry, Paula Kaatz,Valerie Laven-Cooper, Melissa Meister,Austin

Myers, Libby Palmer,Laurel Taylor, Louise de Teliga, Dana Woods,

Cheryl Downey, Rachael Stanley, and Liuba Randolph for phon-ing. Hope Hanafin traveled on her own to help knock on doors

in Colorado and many more members participated in their own

ways wherever they were located.

Thank you all for voting and acting for change. Now lets

work to bring about that change.

I have long enjoyed membership in the Costume Society of America,so Im

surprised when other Costume Designers havent heard of it. Founded in

1973, it is primarily concerned with the study of dress.Yes,you could call

it scholarly,as there are yearly symposiums where papers are presented,

and many members are from universities or museums, but there are also

workshops on a variety of subjects which I have found fascinating as a

designer: a presentation on the costume and research archives of the LA

County Museum,a tour through a craftsman home where there was a boun-ty of beautiful arts and crafts clothing and embroideries,and a fascinating

lecture where I learned of the scarcity of a particular red dye in the 17th

century! And theres always the opportunity for tea or lunch with others

who just love clothing,very civilized. Yearly dues are $75, which entitles

you to membership in the international and regional chapter,newsletters,

and a subscription to the annual publicationDress.

There is another organization in town that you should know about. The

Costume Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The group supports the Costume & Textile Department through fundrais-

ers for acquisitions.Celebrating its 55th season, the Costume Council is

now the largest of the 10 Art Councils of LACMA.They also have scholarly

events, often associated with current exhibitions, which are sometimes

open to the public.As a member, you have easy access to the Costume

Research Center.The yearly dues have recently been raised to $400 (and

there are two tiers above that). Membership is by invitation only.Mark your

calendars:the next event on November 17 at the Bing Theater focuses on

burlesque and its influence on fashion,and is open to the public. Dita Von

Teese will display her costumes and Ava Garter will perform.You cant get

any better than that for a scholarly event!

Firstly, the duo known as the Hindi Sisters. Hillary and

Hannah Hindi are quite a pair. After entering a contest

sponsored by AOL that encouraged teens to send in ideas

for a Web-based show, they placed third out of almost

100,000 entries. Though disappointed that they didnt win,

they bought their own camera and continued to shoot

webisodes for their newly acquired fan base.

Their passion became known as The Hillywood Show.

Imagine Doc fromBack to the Futurerunning into Cap-

tain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean? Whatwould happen if The Terminator was sent back in time to

kill Jack Sparrow? The Hillywood Show centers around the

two sisters as they do impersonations of various characters,

from a mix of films,interacting together in quirky situations.

Their attention to detail is what impressed me the most.

There is an obvious love for the characters they portray,and

their passion for re-creating the costumes is evidenced by

their precision. Hillary and Hannah are wildly influenced

by all things Tim Burtonas well as the chameleon-like na-

ture that Johnny Depp brings to his characters.When asked

about Costume Designer Colleen Atwood, the two could

not have had more admiration for her work in their voices.

They love her use of desaturated color, the materials and of

course,Colleens attention to detail.Most of all,they are pas-

sionate about re-creating them to the best of their ability.

Thanks to The Hilly-

wood Show,you really get

the sense that you are

watching your most

beloved characters inter-

act in ways that you

could never imagine; and

central to pulling that off

are the costumes.

Explore and enjoy the

Hindi Sisters artistry at

thehillywoodshow.com.

Youre in for an

imaginative wild ride.

The second unex-

pected surprise came in

the form of the unassum-

ing Michael Solof.Michael, while clutching

an artists portfolio,

waited patiently during

the meet-and-greet ses-

sion after the Comic-Con

panels. He informed me

that the portfolio was not his but that of his late father,

Charles Solof.

Charles Solof was a furniture manufacturers rep in the

1960s. He traveled around selling furniture for various com-

panies to support his family, like his father did before him. But

there was another side to his father that Michael always found

intriguing. Michael remembers finding his fathers secret

sketches on his furniture orders, the sand castles he sculpted

at the beach, and his beautiful landscape paintings. Shortly

before his father passed away, Michael was digging through

one of his fathers closets when he happened upon a portfo-

lio. When he opened it, he was stunned by what he found. In

it, were about 175 costume illustrations he had done when he

was only 19. Charles explained to his son that he had dreamsof going to New York after high school to become a d esigner

and that someday, a famous starlet would wear one of his de-

signs. This dream was never realized because his parents felt

that costume design was not something a young man should

do. This, coupled with a young boys doubts about making it

in The Big Appleled him to go into the family business.

As I looked at one beautiful sketch after another, I was

blown away by the innate talent that this man possessed.There

were socialites and ballerinas, brides and ballroom

dancers, moms and sweet 16ers. Charles Solof was a natural-

born Costume Designer. His pas-

sion was sealed in a box in the

closet for more than 40 years.

Michael Solof is now determined

to find opportunities to share

these gems with the world.So, what drives the Hindi

Sisters to pursue their dream of

one day having a nationwide

show to share their unique gifts?

What drove Michael to travel all

the way to San Diego from Balti-

more, Maryland, in hopes that

someone would find value in his

fathers hidden talents? Passion

is the wellspring that creative in-

dividuals tap to nourish their

very existence. And this passion

seems to be eternally linked to a

love of Costume Design.

MEET THE ASSISTANTS

Before following a boyfriend in a

band to Los Angeles, Holly Davis

worked in New York editorial for

Glamourmagazine and public rela-

tions for Ralph Lauren. Davis also

holds a BA in fashion design from

the University of Missouri. Once in

Los Angeles, she began working on

commercials, videos, and MOWs.

Today, this ACD guru has a

large body of film work, having

assisted Costume Designers

Judianna Makovsky, Kym Barrett,

Deborah Scott, Marlene Stewart

and Jacqueline West. Her experi-

ences have taught her the merit of

Zen on the job. Stay happy, be

kind to your co-workers, and if the

world is exploding around you, it

becomes super important to stay

calm and get the job done, Davis

explains. She strives to relieve the

pressure of the designers demand-

ing and ever-growing position.

Constant script changes, late cast-

ing, and increased expectations of

the designers time make the ACD

crucial; another set of eyes work-

ing for the designers vision.

DAVIS

Allison holds an MA in fashion and

textile design from the University

of Southampton Netherlands

Satellite and has studied collection

development at the Institut

Francais de la Mode, Paris. Shes as

versatile as the continents she has

studied on.

Her California career began in

the theater, but she has also worked

in film, opera, commercials, custom

bridal, and styling. As an ACD, she

relies on efficiency, creative sourc-

ing, pulling confidence, stamina,

communication, and treasure-hunt-

ing. She even finds some of her

best training comes from her col-

lege waitressing days, which gave

her the ability to have a 360

awareness of her responsibility and

to systematically take care of every-

one/thing with a delicate dance of

agility!She suggests making your-

self indispensable and then learn-

ing what rejuvenates you so you

stay charged for the long haul!For

Leach, that includes a lot of singing

and laughing even when were in

the thick of it!

Positivity and friendliness are traits

that this midwestern girl from out-

side of Akron, Ohio, knows are just

as important as her background in

construction and fabrics. Haag

moved to Southern California five

years ago, after receiving a fellow-

ship from UC Irvine, to obtain her

MFA in costume design. Her under-

graduate work in fashion and BFA

in costume design from Kent State

University helped her get started

on her path.

She believes designing is jug-

gling. An ACD is not merely an

extra costumer, but rather a design-

er with an eye for detail and an

understanding of storytelling, who

supports the vision of the Costume

Designer. In this way, the final out-

come is stronger and richer in its

complexity. While working as a

sounding board, shopping, sourc-

ing, and conveying notes she stays

professional and friendly. For Haag

the process of building is the most

rewarding. If Im not loving it, than

why am I here?

leggings are chausses, hoods are coif, and mit-

tens: mitons. One source cites eight different

types used between the 11th and 13th centu-

ry: ringed, trellised, rustred (sic), mascled

(sic), scaled, teglated, banded.

Maillot:Tight-fitting, one-piece swimsuit.

Manga: Mexican coverall cloak similar

to a poncho, not to be confused

with Japanese anim!

Mantua: The mantuawas launched in the 18th

century and dominated it to

such an extent that dressmakers

were called mantua makers. It

was a loose gown without

stays worn by ladies

and was introduced as a

casual dress alternative

to the heavily struc-

tured court dress of

the time. Worn

with a high

headdress, it

imposed a triangular

shape on the body. The name seems to have

derived from the Italian dukedom where a

particularly fine type of fabric was manufactured.

Merveilleuse: Fashionable youngFrenchwomen of the late 18th century, who were

the female counterpart of the Incroyable. They

wore long, sleeveless dresses of fine muslin,

antique (roman style) sandals and

affected rather unkempt hair-

styles, a sort of bed head look.

Morian/Morion/Murrion: The hel-

met of the 16th centu-ry, introduced by the

Spaniards, who had

copied if from the Moors,

to the rest of Europe, about

1550. It was open-faced and

had no visor.

Mufti: Street clothing worn by an officer of the Britisharmed forces instead of a uniform.

Munisak Robe: Purely a female garment worn by theSamarkand (Uzbek) people, the Munisak was originally a sim-

ple outer garment that later developed as more cere-

monial. At the end of the 19th and early 20th cen-

turies, it was worn for such occasions as birth feasts,

holidays, weddings and family celebrations. It was

made of woven ikat fabrics, the patterns of which

implied hope for happiness, fertility and protection

against the evil eye.

Murex: Is the mollusk from which purple dyecomes. It is extremely labor intensive to extract

which makes it very expensive. It was hugely

popular with monarchs and was largely

reserved for their use. Especially popu-

lar with Roman emperors, by 400 AD it

had been over harvested and was increas-

ingly rare. One pound of dyed cloth was worth

$20,000 in modern equivalency. It was also used

by priests of the temple in Jerusalem where it is

still used today.

Sharen Davis and Felipe Sanchez had to create an illustration for theDream-

girls debut scene to be part of the presentation to green light the film.Both

Davis and director Bill Condon felt the feathers were the best eye candy

against the starry,midnig ht sky lighting effect that was planned.

During the actual design process for the film,Davis tested the idea of asteel grey fabric but felt it wasnt dreamy enough for the scene.After a mas-

sive fabric hunt, she decided on the frosty white body with the blue facing

and crystal embellishments (final sketch) that perfectly captured the mo-

ment on screen.

Davis: Mr.Sanchez is great at anticipating my thoughts of style,so with

each film the illustrations are expedited with less discussion.

At the start, Sanchez works with the designer on choosing poses and facial

expressions. He also utilizes a variety of different illustration styles, papers

and materials to find the best way to represent the mood of the project.

Sanchez completed over 100 illustrations for the costumes,several of which

were seen on screen during the end credits as well as ten additional

illustrated posters for the film within the film, Cleopatra.

ony Scotts languid vampire cult hit, The Hunger

(1983),mates 80s attitude with traditional vampire

myth and Egyptology. Complications with sun, gar-

lic and stakes have been conveniently eradicated,

and The Hungers glamorous daytime creatures

drain humans once a week with a stiletto encased

in an Ankh pendant.This stylish,moody and impec-

cably designed film showcases designer Milena

Canoneros costumes, especially the sophisticated, 40s-inflected

look of elegant vampire Miriam Blaylock, played by Catherine

Deneuve. Since I am currently designing the contemporary

Southern gothic vampire showTrue Blood, I thought it would be

inspiring to take a look back at this supernatural horror classic.

Ancient Miriam has been a vampire since the time of the

Pharaohs, and we see her in one bloody flashback in a Nefertiti

crown feeding on a slave.In 18th century France,she took her cur-

rent lover,John (David Bowie), falsely promising him eternal life.

Two hundred hears later,coolly dressed to the nines in 80s fashion

while the punk band Bauhaus wails Bela Lugosis Dead, the cou-

ple prowls a downtown NYC club for fresh meat. Miriams costume

epitomizes 40s/80s haute style: she wears a wide-shouldered

leather jacket over a belted spandex cat suit,studded leather gaunt-

let gloves,a sleek cocktail hat,and cat-eye sunglasses. John is more

subdued,also in dark glasses,wearing a shiny black blazer.The dan-

gerously chic pair quickly find willing prey:Ann Magnuson,dressed

as a femme biker chick with one dangle earring, and her leather-clad boy-toy.

When John begins the irreversible deterioration that Miriams

lovers are cursed to endure,she seeks help from Dr.Sarah Roberts,

played by Susan Sarandon,all eyes and spiky auburn hair. Sarahs

costumes are simple but body-conscious:well-cut grey suits,belted

at the waist,T-shirts,and pumps. Knowing full well that John will

soon be a living corpse, Miriam chooses Sarah to be her next

beloved companion,and the seduction begins.

For Miriams first advance on Sarah, Canonero designed a

dramatic ensemble: she appears at Sarahs book signing in a luxe

cream cashmere overcoat, cinched sharply at the waist with a

wide patent leather belt, a glittering salamander pin on one lapel,

and a black cloche with black-and-white dotted veil pulled over

her exquisitely made-up face. Miriam telepathically signals Sarah,

who looks up to see this mysterious beauty, and instantly falls

in love.

Later the next day,when Sarah arrives at Miriams sumptuous

upper East Side townhouse, her own costume references the vam-

pires sudden influence: she wears an uncharacteristic marcasite

swallow brooch on her lapel.Mir iam seduces Sarah in a sunlight-

drenched afternoon of sex, and Sarah unknowingly exchanges

blood with the vampire. Her transformation begins,and later that

night, when she cannot sleep or satisfy her strange new hunger,

Sarah sees a vision of Miriam as an 80s black widow, in a leather

halter dress, beaded gloves and black veil,mour ning the loss of

John but welcoming Sarah.

The next day,sick and terrified, Sarah returns to the townhouse

wearing an unusual golden trench coat,which alludes to an Egyptian

goddessraiment and signals her mortal days are over.Sarah fights to

the death with Miriam, who with her usually perfect golden hair

hanging in her face and Sarahs blood soaking the cream silk of her

dressing gown,is revealed to be a sadistic killer. In the last mysteri-

ous shot Sarah,fully healed and dressed in f lowing white,admires the

view from the balcony of a grand London apartment.Milena Canoneros designs in The Hungerbeautifully mirror

the plot, guiding the audience as the heartless story unfolds.She

has imagined for us the costumes of a polished 3000-year-old vam-

pire who wields her perfect style like a weapon, making us fall in

love ourselves.
