Leotards and Tracksuits and Hoodies, Oh My! Costume Designers Guild Announces Award Nominees
Posted in: Uncategorized
The nominations are in for the annual Costume Designers Guild Awards. In the contemporary film category, voters will have to choose among leotards and a deranged ballerina’s progression from pinky to inky togs (masterminded by Amy Westcott for Black Swan), hoodies (Jacqueline West for The Social Network), bespoke suits, sans contrast collars (Ellen Mirojnick for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), and dream-infiltrating apparel (Jeffrey Kurland for Inception), or face the meta-choice: the glitzy stage costumes and clubwear of Burlesque, as designed by Michael Kaplan. Other familiar names among this year’s nominees include Colleen Atwood (for Alice and Wonderland) and Janie Bryant (for Mad Men), but it’s a dark horse in the final category—Excellence in Commercial Costume Design—that’s got us most excited. Michelle Martini is nominated for her brilliant outfitting of Maria Bamford in the role of a demented yet steel-willed mom training for holiday shopping in Target’s Black Friday commercials. Can a cherry red track suit paired with gumball pearls and heels best the costumes featured in the chic commercials of Chanel and Dior? We’ll find out on February 22, when the Costume Designers Guild reveals the winners at a gala in Beverly Hills hosted by actress Kristin Davis.
