Description

You may be wondering, "What is costume design?" We'll be showing you some of the art of this fascinating field. And we'll be introducing you to some of the leaders in the craft who help to bring the fine art of storytelling to the screen. A COSTUME DESIGNER creates the look of a character in film or television. This requires detailed research and director's vision. Often, the costumes set fashion trends that inspire fashion designers and impact world culture. THE COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD is Local 892 of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (I.A.T.S.E.). Learn more about our Members and view some of their work in our Gallery. The first and foremost function of the Guild is to protect its members. We do this by enforcing contracts and intervening on the member's behalf with the employer and filing grievances, when appropriate and necessary. We also negotiate basic minimum wage from which the member then negotiates upwards with the producer. Our current contract goes through July 31, 2009. Members are encouraged to call the Guild office at any time for assistance. The office staff is available to help Guild members interpret and understand their contracts.
