Joanna Johnston, 2018 Career Achievement AwardRecipient

Joanna Johnston is a critically acclaimed Costume Designer and one of the most talented and sought after in her craft. She has collaborated frequently with Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, and has also worked with M. Night Shyamalan and Richard Curtis on more than one occasion. Johnston began her career assisting Academy Award-winning costume designer Anthony Powell on such films as Evil Under the Sun, Death on the Nile, and Roman Polanski's Tess.

Guillermo del Toro, 2018 Distinguished Collaborator Award Recipient

Guillermo del Toro is among the most creative and visionary artists of his generation whose distinctive style is showcased through his work as a filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and author. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, del Toro first gained worldwide recognition for the 1993 Mexican-American co-production Cronos, a supernatural horror film, which he directed from his own screenplay after beginning his career working as a special effects makeup artist. His subsequent films include, Mimic, The Devil’s Backbone, Blade 2, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pacific Rim, andCrimson Peak. Del Toro earned international acclaim as the director, writer and producer of the 2006 fantasy drama Pan’s Labyrinth.

Maggie Schpak, 2018 Distinguished Service Award Recipient

Maggie Schpak was born and spent her early years in New York. Her father was film actor, Millard Mitchell. Her Dad sewed, knitted, and taught her to tie good bows. Maggie attended Pasadena Playhouse in the early ‘60s as an acting major, but found she was spending more and more time with the tech students in the costume shop. After college, she acted in a lot of little theatre and often designed and made the costumes. One director pointed out that she could actually earn money with her skills and gave her the name of Al Nickel at Western Costume Company, who gave her a real job. She gravitated to designers who liked to do hand-made items for their films, Dorothy Jeakins’ Little Big Man, Lewis Brown on numerous Music Center Productions, and Robert Fletcher. She was married at the time to Tom Browne, a metal sculptor and artist, who came to work at Western Costume Company in the prop department. There was a metal shop on the 6thfloor owned by Bill Reyhill, and when he retired, Maggie and Tom bought the shop. They were lucky to have great mentors like Bob Fletcher who just assumed they could make anything he could dream up, and Jack Bear and Sal Anthony, who would come in with amazing ideas. Maggie and Tom separated in 1973, but remained creative partners and friends until his retirement in 2008. When Western Costume Company changed hands in 1996, they moved the shop to Glendale, where it is today. As time passed, the projects became bigger and more labor intensive—they were up to 11 employees by the time they were doing The Last Starfighter for Bob Fletcher, and Masters of the Universefor Julie Weiss. Though they would still do the armor for principals on Chronicles of Riddickfor Ellen Mirojnick and other projects, jewelry and insignia became their specialty. Crowns and tiaras of all types and periods are great fun and fulfilling. Her greatest source of enjoyment is when she can see and understand what the designer is visualizing, and bring it to life at the Metal Arts Studio.

Sarah began working with CDGA and JumpLine as a Talent Producer in 2007, and in more recent years served as the show’s Supervising Producer. It is her creative vision and dedication that has elevated CDGA to the show it is today, honoring the work of Costume Designers and the talent that adore them (in recent years, CDGA has honored Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Quentin Tarantino, Amy Adams, Judd Apatow, and more). JL Pomeroy, Executive Producer of the CDGA for 15 years, will now hold the position of Executive Producer Emeritus.

Sarah’s production expertise will help her continue to grow JumpLine, a brand activation and event agency. And her longtime track record as one of the most trusted and liked talent producers will be invaluable to BehindTheLine, the company’s content division, which recently produced the feature-length documentary about Saturday Night Live, Live From New York!

Cowperthwaite will also continue her 18-year tenure with the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards, currently serving as a Talent Executive.

“It is a privilege to step into the role of President and take both JumpLine and BehindTheLine into the next chapter,” Cowperthwaite said. “I have great admiration for the exceptional team JL has assembled, and the vision she has created. I’m also ecstatic to serve as Executive Producer of the CDGA, a show that means a great deal to me, especially on our milestone 20th Anniversary.”

JumpLine Group’s Founder and current President, JL Pomeroy, will continue to stay involved in JumpLine as Chairman, while all daily operations of the company will be handed over to Cowperthwaite.

“I founded JumpLine Group in 2002 because I knew there was a better way to bring brands and entertainment together,” said Pomeroy. “After 15 years of amazing work and growing the company to have offices in four markets, I am humbled by the success we’ve had. But, mostly, I am thrilled that we’ve built a culture that retains incredible talent like Sarah Cowperthwaite. She has been my trusted advisor for 10 years, and now I’m honored to become hers as she moves into the well-deserved role of President.”

LILY COLLINS ANNOUNCED AS RECIPIENT OF THE LACOSTE SPOTLIGHT AWARD AT THE 19TH CDGA (COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD AWARDS)

Ceremony to Take Place on February 21, 2017

Los Angeles, CA (January 23, 2017) – The Costume Designers Guild announced today that Golden Globe® nominated actress and fashion icon Lily Collins will receive the annual LACOSTE Spotlight Award at the 19th CDGA (Costume Designers Guild Awards) on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The LACOSTE Spotlight Award honors an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of costume design. Collins is being honored for her on-screen talent and her widely known respect and affection for the designers she’s worked with. When Collins last attended the CDGA, she wore a statement dress with an oversized bow on the back as an homage to Eiko Ishioka, her Mirror Mirror costume designer, who had passed away that year. Ishioka went on to win the award for Excellence in Fantasy Film that night.

Lily Collins is a rising star in Hollywood. She has already gained praise for her roles in numerous films such as Love, Rosie, The Mortal Instruments, Stuck in Love, The English Teacher, Mirror Mirror, Abduction, and The Blind Side. Most recently, Collins starred in the highly acclaimed film Rules Don’t Apply, directed by Warren Beatty. The role gained Lily her first Golden Globe® Award Nomination in the Best Actress Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy category.

Collins recently wrapped production on the dark comedy To The Bone, directed by Marti Noxon, as well as the Bong Joon-ho directed Okja, starring opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, Tilda Swinton, and Paul Danno, which will premiere on Netflix in 2017. Currently, Collins is filming the Amazon/Sony Pictures drama series, The Last Tycoon with Kelsey Grammer and Matt Bomer. The series is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final unfinished novel and the pilot has already received much acclaim.

In addition to acting, Collins is a rising fashion icon and journalist. She has been writing for ELLEGIRL UK, Nickelodeon, SEVENTEEN Magazine, and CosmoGIRL! since she was 15. Collins is also set to release her first memoir, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, which will be published through HarperCollins on March 7, 2017. This debut collection of raw and deeply personal essays will resonate with teenagers and young women, and help inspire honest conversations.

LACOSTE has been a supporter of the CDGA for more than a decade and returns as Presenting Sponsor for the eighth consecutive year.

For the fifth year, LACOSTE will partner with the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and their costume design students on creative collaborations. This year, six students were asked to select an iconic fairy tale character, then sketch and design a polo shirt based on that character. LACOSTE provided each student with its famous branded polo shirts, as well as piqué fabric, trims, and crocodile logos. The completed designs and their accompanying sketches will be displayed at the 19th CDGA as well as at the LACOSTE Symposium, an intimate panel discussion with award-winning Costume Designers, on February 22nd. The FIDM students will attend CDGA and the LACOSTE Symposium as guests of LACOSTE.

Produced by JumpLine, the annual CDGA gala celebrates excellence in film, television, and short-form Costume Design as voted on by the Guild’s membership.

Beyond Mr. Allen’s films, he has since realized the visual story in film for more than 40 productions, collaborating with many renowned directors, including Milos Forman, Neil Jordan, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Mann, Nora Ephron, Brad Bird, Paul Feig, and Christopher Nolan to name but a few. He has created designs for leading ladies Julia Roberts, Marion Cotillard, Cameron Diaz, Annette Bening, Diane Keaton, Gena Rowlands, Emma Thompson, and Ellen Page. The list of leading men that he has sartorially represented includes George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Jamie Foxx, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. Michael Caine, Viggo Mortensen, Jeremy Irons, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

He has spoken on the art of Costume Design in numerous symposiums at the Directors Guild of America, AFI, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and UCLA. His design work has been featured in several exhibits around the world.

Meryl Streep, 2017 Distinguished Collaborator Award Recipient

TWO-TIME ACADEMY AWARD® WINNING ACTRESS CATE BLANCHETT TO RECEIVE LACOSTE SPOTLIGHT AWARD AT THE 18th COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD AWARDS

LOS ANGELES, CA —January 6, 2016—Two-time Academy Award® winning actress Cate Blanchett will receive the LACOSTE Spotlight Award at the 18th Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGA) on February 23, 2016 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The LACOSTE Spotlight Award honors an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of costume design. Blanchett is being honored for her unparalleled talent as much as for her status within the costume design community. Her appreciation for the artistry of costume design and her collaboration with the Costume Designers has made her an icon both on and off the screen.

Blanchett has received much recognition throughout her career with two Academy Award® wins and more than 200 awards and nominations, including those from the prestigious Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards®, BAFTA, and Independent Spirit Awards.

She has been praised for her roles in films such as The Aviator, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, I’m Not There, Blue Jasmine, Notes on a Scandal, Veronica Guerin, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Bandits, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Most recently, Blanchett stars alongside Rooney Mara in Carol, directed by Todd Haynes and based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt. She also serves as an executive producer on the project, which was produced in association with Dirty Films, the company that Blanchett founded with Andrew Upton.

Last year, Blanchett starred as evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Cinderella, working closely with beloved Costume Designer Sandy Powell and director Kenneth Branagh. Blanchett also received rave reviews for her role as Mary Mapes in Truth for which she starred opposite Robert Redford. Blanchett will soon appear in Terrence Malick's films Knight of Cups and Voyage of Time.

LACOSTE has been a supporter of the CDGA for more than a decade and returns as Presenting Sponsor for the seventh consecutive year.

Whether on playing fields or in everyday life, LACOSTE’s story is rooted in a quest for authenticity, performance, and elegance. Each crocodile-branded product is designed to allow men and women to feel free in their mind and body with clothes and accessories that enable confidence and ease by adapting to an ever-changing life. It’s this vision of optimism and courage that is promoted by the brand message: “Life is a Beautiful Sport.”

For the fourth year, LACOSTE will partner with the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and their costume design students on creative collaborations. This year, five students were asked to select an iconic character from Quentin Tarantino films, research their selection, and sketch and design a polo shirt based on the character. LACOSTE provided each student with its famous branded polo shirts, as well as piqué fabric, trims, and crocodile logos. Using the provided materials, they will sketch, design, and construct their character's polo shirt. The shirts and their accompanying sketches will be displayed at the 18th CDGA as well as at the LACOSTE Symposium, an intimate Q&A event with today’s leading Costume Designers, on February 24th. The FIDM students will attend the Awards Gala as guests of LACOSTE.

With the support of presenting sponsor LACOSTE, the red carpet and black-tie awards gala celebrates outstanding film, television, and short form costume design. The CDGA has become a marquee event of the Hollywood awards season, notable for its lively, fun, warm, and engaging celebration of Costume Designers and their essential contribution to film and television. The awards presentation will honor the work of Costume Designers in seven categories, including contemporary, period, and fantasy film and television.
