2022 CDGA Nominees

Congratulations to all of the CDGA 2022 nominees!

Manhattan Wardrobe Supply would like to extend our congratulations to all of this year’s Costume Designers Guild Awards Nominees. The 24th CDGA ceremony will take place on Wednesday, March 9th, and will honor the achievement of excellence in Costume Design in film, television, and short-form design. We would like to call special attention to several nominees who have worked with MWS in the past! Thank you for your patronage and break a leg! 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN SCI-FI / FANTASY FILM

The Suicide Squad

Judianna Makovsky

Judianna Makovsky is perhaps best known for her work on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Seabiscuit, & The Hunger Games, as well as various projects within the MCU. She was thrice nominated for a “Best Costume Design” Oscar for her work on Pleasantville, Harry Potter, and Seabiscuit. This year, her inventive designs helped bring the infamous villains of The Suicide Squad to life. 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY FILM

Coming 2 America

Ruth E. Carter

Ruth E. Carter made history in 2020 by becoming the first black woman to win an Oscar for “Best Costume Design.” Her mind-blowing creations for the film Black Panther solidified her talents in Afrofuturistic Design – innovative costumes which allow actors to fully transform into their complex characters. 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY FILM

In The Heights

Mitchell Travers

To prepare for his work on In the Heights, Travers fully immersed himself in the vibrant world of Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood. He studied and photographed residents living out their daily lives and took inspiration from real street styles. 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN PERIOD FILM

West Side Story

Paul Tazewell

Mr. Tazewell is a critically acclaimed costume designer for theatre, dance, opera, and television. Who could forget his Tony Award-winning designs for the smash-hit musical Hamilton? For his work on WSS, Tazewell sought to answer the following questions about his characters:

• Are they attractive?
• Are they a threat? 
• Are they rich or flat broke? 
• Are they trying to hide something or flaunt something? 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION

Emily in Paris: French Revolution

Patricia Field & Marylin Fitoussi

Costume Designer Marylin Fitoussi and famed costume consultant Patricia Field worked hand in hand to bring the over-the-top Emily Cooper to life. Her conspicuous wardrobe almost serves as its own character in the series. 

 

Mare of Easttown: Miss Ladyhawk Herself

Meghan Kasperlik

Coming from critical acclaim for her fantastical work on Fahrenheit 451 and the Watchmen series, Meghan Kasperlik approached the costuming for Mare of Easttown by combining authenticity and visual interest. Her main focus remained storytelling through the costumes throughout the series.

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN PERIOD TELEVISION

Halston: Becoming Halston

Jeriana San Juan

Cuban-American tv and film costume designer, Jeriana San Juan, was tasked with the seemingly impossible job of recreating the look of one of the foremost visionary designers of the 1970s: Roy Halston Frowick. Rather than focusing on design, she found her creative center with his character and story.  

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN VARIETY, REALITY COMPETITION, LIVE TELEVISION

Annie Live!

Emilio Sosa

Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City, Emilio is one of Broadway’s brightest lights. He has received both Tony Award and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work. For Annie Live, Sosa scoured warehouses for unique pieces from the early thirties and worked diligently on their restoration and refurbishment. Ultimately, he was able to achieve a unique period look that still retained life, texture, and color. 

 

Saturday Night Live: Rami Malek / Young Thug

Tom Broecker & Eric Justian

It has been said that no closet is quite as extensive as Saturday Night Live’s. The main costume closet at 30 Rock is astronomical in size – and that doesn’t even account for the four other rooms throughout the building or the off-site warehouses. It is a small wonder that SNL’s chief costume designers Tom Broecker and Eric Justian can keep track of it all. But they do, and do it with stunning success! 

 

CDGA: EXCELLENCE IN SHORT FORM DESIGN

Cadillac: Edgar Scissorhands ft. Timothée Chalamet, “Hands Free” (Commercial)

Melissa DesRosiers

DesRosiers is an accomplished union costume designer and stylist who divides her talents between NYC & LA. Her diverse range of expertise spans Super Bowl spots (for David Shane) to motorcycle clubs (Sons of Anarchy). Her recent short form work brought Timotheé Chalamet and Winona Ryder into a modern-day Edward Scissorhands.
