ROBIN RICHESSON (History of Dress, Illustrator) After joining the Guild in 1992, Richesson currently works as a costume illustrator, a storyboard artist, and educator. "I trained to work as an illustrator for print (publishing) so when the CDG began the magazine, I was pleased to be asked to illustrate for it. I love working in film, but I have to admit, I missed seeing my work in print. The History of Dress column is a great way for me to learn more about clothing and participate in this publication." "Ret Turner designed my fi rst costume (age 3) and continued throughout my entire career—my fave —my wedding dress that I wore twice!" –Marie Osmond
