Essential Collaborator: Assistant Costume Designer
The assistant costume designer (ACD) serves as an extension of the costume designer, this is essential as productions have become larger and larger in scope. The ACD serves as a representative that helps translate the costume designer’s vision to the costume department and other departments. Additionally, from the prep and shoot, to wrap, they are a liaison between the costume department and all aspects of production. The ACD can do everything the costume designer does” research, plan the schedule, oversee the fitting of garments, source fabric, work with the custom-made team, and pull and or shop. Depending on the ACDs skillset and the costume designer’s preference, they can also establish looks on set, dress the background, and illustrate. Working as an ACD can lead to becoming a costume designer, but it is also a career unto itself.
