Winter 2017 The Costume Designer 59
As the creative energy for the Women's March was brewing, CD Stacy Ellen
Rich
decided to create patches to give away on the day. Rich's inspiration: women
groundbreakers and floor shakers. Rich made the crucial point to include intersec-
tional feminism and created seven images with ink and paper mixed with archival
photos. During the march, Rich says, "One person asked for a patch and then another
and another! All of the sudden, there was a crowd of people around me. It was ex-
hilarating to share mementos for people to take away with them on this momentous
day. Let's keep it going!"

AWARDS
ACD Christine Cover Ferro received
the LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award for
Costume Design (Large Theatre) for her
work in the fall 2015 production of
Wicked
Lit.
The greatest challenge in the produc-
tion was trying to find suitable costumes
for characters from 12th-century Japan that
allowed the actors to safely run around on
uneven terrain and fight with katanas. She
lucked out with a cast that included four
native Japanese actors with backgrounds
in classical Japanese performing arts, who
were incredibly generous with stories, pho-
tos, books, and the finer points of tying obis.
