Congratulations to all our Guild nominees and winners! CD Marianne Parker took part in the 3rd Annual Superhero Walk with the Lollipop Theater Network. Parker designed for one special young lady to create her very own one-of-a-kind superhero costume. Participants will also get to be professionally photographed, have a poster created for their superhero, and the big finale—to walk the red carpet! Lollipop Theater Network is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001, which has created in-hospital programming for children facing life-threatening illness nationwide. Otis College of Art and Design welcomed CDs B. Åkerlund and Eduardo Castro as guest mentors to students in prepara- tion for their annual fashion show themed, "Limitless." The show in- cluded over 100 designs from junior and senior fashion students. For the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, CD Stacy Ellen Rich was thrilled to attend and take part at the midnight Q&A in support of her horrifically comedic feature, Corporate Animals, starring Demi Moore, Jessica Williams, and Ed Helms. BFN - AWARDS BFN - EDUCATION The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Atlanta aTVfest held a Costume Design panel, featuring speakers Ane Crabtree, Paolo Nieddu, Lisa Frucht, Allyson Fanger, Cynthia Summers, Jack O'Demeterio, Stephani Maslansky, and Rona Meyers. Crabtree also conducted a master class for the graduating class at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in Los Angeles along with the instructor of the architecture/film program, Liam Young. Design Indaba is a multifaceted platform committed to a better world through creativity. In February 2019, CD Ane Crabtree joined the likes of some of the most successful, innovative, and interesting international designers in Cape Town, South Africa, for the confer- ence. Says Crabtree, "30 international speakers shared their stories about how to tell the story of your life, your work, your politics, and your art for an 'intimate crowd' of 1500!" BFN - EXHIBITIONS CD Lorraine Carson CD Mildred Brignoni part- nered with Google Pixel 3 and "She Is the Music" for a commercial that aired during the Grammys. The initiative, founded by award- winning artist Alicia Keys, gives underprivileged kids a once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the event and hang out with Keys backstage. Helping achieve rock star style, Brignoni, who also appears on- screen, created fabulous looks for Gieneyra Lai-Alvarez. Touched by the opportunity to give back to her community, Brignoni selected a variety of options that ranged from glamorous, to chic, to rock star. Collaborating with Lai-Alvarez's ideas and personality, the winning ensemble was age-appropriate black leather pants, a motorcycle jacket, black sequin top, punctuated by white suede kitten booties. "She Is the Music" celebrates creative kids and brings them one step closer to their dreams.
