Richard LamotteCostume Design 101 - 2nd Edition: The Business and Art of Creating Costumes for Film and Television (Costume Design 101: The Business & Art of Creating)

I am an experienced, professional theatrical costume designer and was delighted to be able to quickly reference this book when faced with questions related to costuming for film. It is a wonderful resource that is quick to read, yet packed with information. No fluff, just facts. I especially appreciated seeing examples of actual costume plot breakdowns so that I could compare my own with what is expected in film and TV. I highly recommend adding this book to your library as guide or practical teaching tool. Note that this book is less focused on the creative process of design and more-so on the practical needs of a production (which is exactly what I was looking for)! So grateful to own this text.

Not polished enough, too basic. A Costume design book should have more images.

Giving this 4 stars as I have only made it half way through. So far the book is well written, easy to understand and full of industry insider information and advice. Definitely a good choice.

My niece was thrilled with this book. She was excited it contained information about the business side of costume design as well as the creative side. Totally happy we found it!

For someone like me who has never been around movies as they are being made, this was an incredible amount of very cool information. To see so clearly just what everyone's job is. The anecdotes alone are worth the price of the book. The views into not only his career, but others as well. It also stresses the importance of learning.This is a great book I am sure to read again and again.

This book is a guide book for future costume designers or beginners in the industry. It is filled with detail on how to succeed in costume design. LaMotte writes about everything from the interview-to the actual process of coming up with costume ideas for a movie.

Very pleased

I have done an internship on a movie production and this book truly states everything I have learned and more. It is a must for anyone looking to have a thorough idea of what to expect on the job. Love it !!

This book is full of useful information for students and freelance workers looking to break into the costume industry. As a student of costume it has given me an insight which I would not have otherwise been able to get.

Bought as a gift which was very much appreciated by
