Celebrate Costume Designers!

This weekend we went to see Edge of Darkness and I was thrilled to see one of the main characters, Emma Craven, in a beautiful knit sweater.  Are you a fan of Lindy Hemming, the academy award winning costume designer of Topsy-Turvey (1999)?  She also designed costumes for The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, and so many more movies.  You'll enjoy her costume work on Edge of Darkness. 

Keeping it real has a whole new meaning when it comes to costume design.  Truly talented designers can edit their work, stay true to the characters and can create everything from fantasy to gritty reality. The have the instinct to choose whatever is required to make a film rich with texture, color and create an enhanced viewer experience.

Today, let's celebrate the hard working and dedicated designers out there in every artitstic endeavor, look for knitting in your world and celebrate every stitch this week.
