To celebrate the occasion’s quarter-century moment, the Awards will highlight the history of costume design over the decades, in addition to honoring numerous costume designers across film, television and short-form design within a wide range of genres. Run by the Costume Designers Guild, the event will be held at The Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Feb. 27.
“On behalf of the Costume Designers Guild, I’m honored to congratulate our CDGA nominees,” said Terry Gordon, President of the CostumeDesigners Guild, said in a statement. “This year is particularly exciting as it’s the 25th anniversary of our awards gala. We look forward to celebrating the extraordinary work of our nominees with all of our talented costume designers on February 27th.”
The occasion will also bestow the Career Achievement Award to Deborah L. Scott, designer for films including “Avatar,” “Titanic” and “Back to the Future,” for her impact in costume design. Rachael M.
