5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST READ,
By "raymondnicolev" (dover, nj United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Costume Design 101 (Costume Design 101: The Business & Art of Creating) (Paperback)
This book is probably THE most informative book I have ever read, irregardless of the subject. Everthing you need to know about costume design is here, in this book. Critical information when contemplating a career, that you cannot get in a classroom. The author has been there, worked in the "trenches", for years, has had a successful career, and is now willing to share years of accumulated knowledge. I was amazed at all I gained from this book.

This review is from: Costume Design 101 (Costume Design 101: The Business & Art of Creating) (Paperback)
An excellent "how to" for anyone in the costume or fashion business, or someone wanting to know more about the inside scoop of what it takes to make the costumes in a movie come together. Well written. Gave me a better appreciation for how movies look.

This review is from: Costume Design 101 (Costume Design 101: The Business & Art of Creating) (Paperback)
I found this book to be incredibly useful. Even though I work in stage theater, its information is immediately applicable for all levels of productions. It has tips for organizational skills, outlines of how things work, who does what, advice on how to manage your time, working with actors, dealing with unexpected problems, etc.
I've read it several times and each time I get something new out of it. Read this book, apply it, and you will be a shining star that gets hired again and again for productions.
