The latest edition of Essential Collaborator: Assistant Costume Designer shines a spotlight on the artistry, leadership, and collaboration behind the role of the ACD. ✨
In “ACD Confidential: What It Really Takes,” Whitney Galitz Berger, Tamsin Costello, Glinda Suarez, and Wyandon Lubom join moderator Ivy Thaide for a conversation about how assistant costume designers help communicate and support a costume designer’s vision across every corner of production, from the costume department to vendors and fellow creatives on set. 🎬
This edition also features an “In the Spotlight” profile on CDG member Christine Cover Ferro, whose career spans film, television, and theater, including serving as a PA for costume designer Julie Weiss and later as an ACD for Kristen Burke, Giovanna Ottobre Melton, and Shon LeBlanc. Beyond her work on productions ranging from the Academy Awards to Sleepy Hollow, Christine has also been an active force within the Guild, serving on numerous committees and as the current ACD Representative on the Executive Board.

Behind the scenes of the Los Angeles prep team in 2024 for @therealantoinettemessam costume designs for Amazon Prime’s The Bluff. Thank you to @westerncostumecompany for all their support and resources. The button room is by far still my favorite hunt to do. Loved meeting new vendors for textiles and accessories. Flexing my templates for fabric and dyeing. And I may or may not have been 2.5 months pregnant with my 2nd daughter, 😉 @stylesbywyandon . What a fun project to be apart of! @cdglocal892 #costumedesign #workingmom #thebluff #film
Congratulations to costume designer @therealantoinettemessam for her upcoming feature on Amazon Prime, The Bluff from @agbofilms . @stylesbywyandon and I had the pleasure of getting her up and running here in LA before she headed to Australia. If you love a good adventure with a little bit of female badass energy, it’s a must see. Coming to you TV on Feb 25th. @cdglocal892 #thebluff #pirates

Seeing Schiaparelli’s stunning blowfish dress on this weekend’s Paris runway transported me back to my own whimsical WET PETS blowfish mascot, which I had the pleasure of designing on Netflix’s Chambers. Brought vividly to life by the brilliant actor Khan Baykal and genius writer / director @leah666rachel . Thank you @thingergy_inc for building such a fun walkabout! @cdglocal892 #costumdesign #onlocation #blowfishfashion
Season cheer has begun with our annual @cdglocal892 holiday party. A wonderful success for all who made the event possible . Thank you to our President @tagzragz Exec Director @brigittaromanov CDG members @maggiecostume11@deegrahamcostumes Illustrator Rep @barbra.araujo and the many volunteers who set up, worked the party and cleaned up.

Thank you @cdglocal892 for the wonderful article in this winter’s magazine. I had the true pleasure moderating the panel with the talented CD @therealantoinettemessam and ACD @whitneyhg about the work that was created on @thehardertheyfallnetflixfilm at the historical @theautry museum. Antoinette’s designs are showcased in the exhibit at the museum and it’s a must see. The attention to detail is extraordinary and I loved talking through all the hard work that went into show. Our panel will be available on the CDG YouTube channel. Still photography captured by @nic.goode #wildwest #behindthescenes #costumedesign
Always love this city and what a great time to be in NYC. So glad I got to spend time with one of my favorite teammates, the incredible @bonjourld for some champagne at the Met. Then to see some of the rare pieces at auction at Christie’s. #inspired #wanderlust #lovenyc
