Pretty small group of folks who read these posts, but I want to use this space to amplify the work of the Costume Industry Coalition.
ABOUT COSTUME INDUSTRY COALITION
"The Costume Industry Coalition mobilized in the wake of the entertainment industry shutdown to advocate for the survival of the New York City custom costume industry. It includes over 50 small, unique, independent businesses and artisans--in and around New York City--that create and supply costumes for the entertainment industry. Members employ hundreds of specialty artisans: pattern makers, cutters, stitchers, hand finishers, tailors, painters, sculptors, crafters and more, that represent over 39 different countries. They transform a Costume Designer’s two-dimensional designs into custom, one-of-a-kind costumes for theatre, dance, opera, concerts, theme parks, cruise ships, ice shows, live entertainments and on television and film worldwide. For more information, visit www.costumeindustrycoalition.com"
Their latest video, From Page to Stage walks viewers through the entire process, and introduces all the people it takes to bring the costume to life.
"Costumes are everywhere! For the Broadway production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Tony-award winning costume designer, Catherine Zuber, created an unforgettable design for the entrance of Satine, played by Tony-award winning actress, Karen Olivo. Both recount the unparalleled process to build a custom costume, involving innumerable specialty artisans who bring the design to life. We’re pulling the curtain back to give you a quick insider’s look into how a costume makes it from the page to the stage!
