Designer
as Curator
Salvador Perez at
The Paley Center for Media
Following in the footsteps of a previous CDG President,
Dr. Deborah Nadoolman Landis, President Salvador
Perez added a new role to his repertoire: curator.
Perez oversaw the selection and installation of all the
pieces for his recent exhibit at the Paley Center for
Media, which lauded six seasons of style on The Mindy
Project. "Not only was it a great way to celebrate the
final season," says Perez, "but to celebrate in such a pub-
lic way as a curator was a boon to Costume Designers
everywhere because who understands the characters
better than we do?" He attributes the success of the
costumes not only to his sartorial bravado with color,
pattern, and details; but also to the fact Kaling always
looks impeccable, and is an inspiration to so many fans.
The Mindy Project is a Universal Television produc-
tion and is currently streaming on Hulu.
