Costume Design Quotes

I’d love to go to fashion week! I’m learning more about designers, thanks to ‘Pretty Little Liars’’ costume designer, Mandi Line Picture Quote #1

I design for the movie and the character as well as the person wearing the costume. I show the ideas to the actor, then do fittings for shape and technical things such as movement in the costume. Once the costume in this form is on the actor, you have a sense of their connection with it. I then take it to the next level with the final fit Picture Quote #1

I think that sometimes people don’t understand that a costume that has to be worn every day and doesn’t change the whole movie becomes iconic. It’s very important because it requires a different design process, since you have to make something that people aren’t going to get tired of looking at Picture Quote #1

Without my husband’s costumes I wouldn’t have known how to accomplish what I saw in my own mind’s eyes for choreography. And then seeing our choreography and knowing the background of it I am sure helped my husband a great deal with what he designed for us Picture Quote #1

I can create clothes for so many different time periods. I’ve always tried to avoid being pigeonholed. Plus, everything I learn about design and costume from one movie somehow works its way into something else Picture Quote #1

Ballet costumes are easier that opera because they are designed for movement Picture Quote #1

What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he’s become a different person Picture Quote #1

I graduated from Academy of Fashion and Costume Design in Rome. At first, I thought I was going to be a costume designer for films, and then I ended up working in fashion - not as a designer, but mostly as a model Picture Quote #1

Any time you talk about the look of the film, it’s not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer Picture Quote #1

One thing about costume design - and I think design in general - but especially costume design, is people have a misconception that it’s very glamorous work Picture Quote #1

It’s often said that costume designers are a faceless group of people. But we can contribute to fashion in a way that might be new and different Picture Quote #1

As a costume designer, I first try to figure out what the character’s economic situation is and hit the stores they’d shop Picture Quote #1

Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She’s such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character Picture Quote #1

I love fashion, and I’ve always wanted to do costume design, but I’m in jeans and T-shirts most of the time Picture Quote #1

I love Pinterest! Pinterest is absolutely phenomenal when you’re trying to come up with a costume design Picture Quote #1

Costume design allows you to do a different type of research and create characters, whereas in fashion, you create an image and clothing for the masses Picture Quote #1

Now that I’m on Broadway, it’s like NASA engineering with the costumes. I was very grateful for the slightly more high-tech ones in my show, ‘Venus in Fur’ our costume designer Anita Yavich is kind of a genius Picture Quote #1

Why not allow patrons to comment on directors’ decisions, vote on costume design, listen to dancers’ conversations, volunteer to help out in ways beyond just writing a check? They can see themselves as co-producers, not just bystanders Picture Quote #1

I design all of my costumes. I like to go out there and feel like I have contributed to every part of what I do. I choose the music, the choreographer, I’ve obviously chosen my coach, my costumes - all if that falls under my realm of power, my realm of influence Picture Quote #1

I design a lot of things that I wear onstage, but I’m always looking for unique stuff. I like creative things, so anything I can find at a secondhand costume shop to a Helmut Lang store, it doesn’t matter - just unique stuff Picture Quote #1

My girlfriend’s a costume designer in the theater Picture Quote #1

It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design Picture Quote #1

Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it Picture Quote #1

I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject Picture Quote #1

Couture has copied my things for years, in addition to countless other costume designers, claiming theirs were the original ideas. It’s all part of the business, unfortunately Picture Quote #1

Costume design is so important and really helpful, and I really love that aspect of character development, just figuring it out Picture Quote #1

All my siblings became artists. One’s a novelist, my brother is a painter, my sister was a costume designer Picture Quote #1

What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he’s become a different person Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer Picture Quote #1

Costume designers don’t care about trends. They appreciate, above so many other qualities, that tailoring is everything, which is a mantra for the way I dress. Ladies: The most important thing in clothing is to find a good, inexpensive tailor, because clothes at the stores are made for bodies that are anomalies Picture Quote #1
