Working in Theatre: Costume Designer

Emilio Sosa knows his fabrics. He likes diving into research. He’s adept at collaborating with everyone from tailors and sewers to directors like George C. Wolfe and Phylicia Rashad. He’s got an incredible eye for design...and he stays cool under pressure. In our latest Working in Theatre video, Sosa, who most recently worked with Center Theatre Group on August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, talks about what it takes to become a costume designer in theatre, how he got his start, and his first big break.

I adore Mr. Sosa, having worked with him years ago at Arena Stage. He is sweet and kind.

Our school needs us to watch this video and answer three different points about the difference between Fashion Design and Costume Design... Oh by the way, I'm from Hong Kong. Hope you'll have a wonderful day!

I am an aspiring costume designer, in so, I’m binging all videos like this one because I want to make costumes specifically for free-lance dancers, as I was one once. But I really like this video and when I’m older I may be a costume designer
