Three-time Academy Award nominee CD Judianna Makovsky, was the Copley Center's Swarovski Designer-in-Residence at UCLA TFT for 2019. Makovsky is the designer of films such as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Hunger Games, Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. She worked with MFA Costume Design students on their designs for Pleasantville, as well as speaking about her career and reviewing student portfolios. CDs Michelle Cole, Ruth E. Carter, Jenny Eagan, and Gersha Phillips participated in an Emmy Q&A panel at the Landmark The- atre, moderated by Gold Derby's Joyce Eng. When describing the Costumer Designers Guild, they agreed it is supportive. "Everyone's stepped up. We're pushing each other, but it's supportive and it doesn't feel at all competitive. It feels really wonderful to be part of it," said Eagan. Cole emphasized a culture of camaraderie and genuine pride in each other's work. "I'm so proud of each of these women here. I've known Ruth a long time. We started back a long time ago and we've seen this business really change, so to see her win her Oscar was a proud moment for me. I started to tear up." Gersha Phillips, Ruth E. Carter, Michelle Cole, and Jenny Eagan graduate students from the nation's top university design programs. Exhibits range from Costume Design to scenic, sound, lighting, and production design. Studio executives, film and television producers, theater artistic directors, and professional designers attend DSW to meet the industry's fresh rising stars.
