29 maggio

Costume Designer Anna Lombardi will illustrate the unique craft of a costume designer by examining the structure and methodology of the work and expertise it entails.

Photographs and film clips will be shown from the following films: “Brutti e Cattivi” (2017) by Cosimo Gomez and “Voice From The Stone” (2017) by Eric D. Howell, the costumes for both of which were designed by Anna Lombardi. The reciprocal influence of Fashion and Cinema will be highlighted, as well as the close relationship the costume designer has with the make-up and hair stylists, photographer and director.
