Format:Paperback
A brilliant book! Gives a fairly comprehensive (and realistic) overview of how costume design for film works. It doesn't tell you how to actually make costumes, but how to go about making them professionally. The book lists all the job descriptions, starting from the most basic and finishing with the designer, and what one is expected to do in each. Removes any romantic notions about the job! Definitely worth reading if that's the career path one wishes to follow.

A terrific handbook for the beginning costume designer.
16 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I read this book knowing very little about costume design. Now I feel I have a good basic understanding of the job of a costume designer. The author covers everything from what sort of materials you need, to how to break down a script, to how to work with the other members of the crew and above all the cast and director. If you're trying to figure out what a costume designer does, exactly, or you're doing costume design on a short film, this is a very helpful handbook.

Richard LaMotte's Costume Design 101
17 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
Never getting the chance to be involved in a high-budget film production, I didn't know how much effort went into costume design! In Costume Design 101, author Richard La Motte, with over 20 years of experience, walks the reader through the business of costume design involved in production.
The book offers guidance on designing perfect portfolios and resumes, presenting concepts, getting hired, breaking down scripts for costuming requirements, and all the way to budgeting and other specialty jobs in the field.
Costume Design 101 really introduces a plethora of useful information for anyone interested in costuming or any sort of design. Including over 30 costume illustrations, you'll find yourself entranced by the world of costume design. And like me, you may have found yourself a new profession!
