(19 Aug 2018) WORKS OF NINE OF THIS YEAR'S EMMY-NOMINATED COSTUME DESIGNERS ON EXHIBIT IN L.A.
The works of nine of this year's Emmy-nominated costume designers are on display at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles.
The exhibit, unveiled at a gala event Saturday (18 AUGUST 2018), features costumes from such contenders as "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Game of Thrones" and "The Crown" -- each nominated for costume design.
'We've got over 100 costumes from 24 different shows, nine of which are Emmy nominated," said designer and FIDM spokesperson Nick Verreos. "And, right here, at this exhibition, we pay homage to costume design. We want to educate. We want to inform. We want to let everybody know the beauty of costume design."
Nominees in attendance for the gala included "A Series of Unfortunate Incidents" designer Cynthia Summers, a first-time Emmy contender.
"This is my first nomination," she said. "So, it's extra special, Still kind of don't believe it. Extremely proud of my entire team for all the hard work that they put in on the show, because it was massive. And I think the outcome was, it speaks for itself. It's a beautiful, every episode was beautiful to watch. Every episode was different. The attention to detail just amazing. So, I'm super happy that we were recognized for it."
Sharen Davis is nominated for design work on a "Westworld" episode that was set in a "Shogun" world.
"In this episode, we are doing a version of 'Westworld,' but it is taking place in 'Shogun' world, which is the Japanese world," she explained. "But we do mirror the original episode, which is the western world. So, the colors have to complement each other and the wardrobe has to somewhat compliment; it has to be pulled from the original clothing. So, I just examine Maeve's western outfit, or her saloon outfit, and we came up with a little floral pattern that we have found on it and we made her kimono on the inspiration of some of the fabric from her western outfit."
Sonu Mishra is nominated for her work on the series "Genius: Picasso," and said she hopes the exhibits will give visitors an insight into the biggest challenge designers face: propelling a show's story.
"You know, right now, the costumes, which are on beautiful mannequins and the simplicity sometimes or, you know it, sometimes, the thing about costumes is it could be something as simple as a pair of shorts, like you said," Mishra noted.
"But it's a part of the story. And, at that moment in the story, you need a pair of simple linen pants. Or you need a structured dress. I think what you take away from not just from this, but from everybody else, is it's telling a story. Costumes are telling a story. So, they, in the exact moment you need them to speak, they speak."
The 12th Annual Art of Television Costume Design exhibition runs through October 6 at the Fashion Institute of Design & Marketing in downtown Los Angeles. Admission is free.
