Costume Designers Guild Awards


The Costume Designers Guild Awards are awards presented annually by the Costume [Designers Guild] to recognize outstanding achievement in costume design for film, television, short form productions, and costume illustration.

History

In 1999, the Costume Designers Guild began giving out its own awards to honor outstanding achievements in costume design at a ceremony similar to that of the DGA, WGA, PGA, and SAG awards. The 1st Costume [Designers Guild Awards|first CDG Awards presentation] was held on February 6, 1999, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, hosted by actress Anjelica Huston. Two competitive categories for excellence in film and television have been presented; Judianna Makovsky and Van Broughton Ramsey won for Pleasantville and The Tempest, respectively. Nevertheless, these categories were divided into various genres for all subsequent ceremonies. The inaugural career achievement award recipients were veteran designers Albert Wolsky and Bob Mackie. All winners and honorees were given the CDGA statuette, which is made of sterling silver and depicts a female figure draped in an amorphous swirl of fabric.
Through the years, the CDG Awards has expanded to include several competition categories that encompass film, television and commercials.
