The Magic Garment: Principles of Costume Design

The Magic Garment focuses on the creative and practical skills that bring costumes from designer/director conferences to opening night — from styles of visual presentation and the use of fabric and materials, to developing skills in research, conceptualization, interpretation, and organization of budgeting, shopping, and scheduling. It explains how to draw and render costume sketches and how to apply different design principles to specific types of costumes. It exposes students to a broad range of theatrical literature and explains how to analyze plays from the costume designer's perspective. Fully illustrated throughout.
