Emmy-winning costume designer Jacqueline SaintAnne was featured in the Winter 2022 Issue of The Costume Designer, the quarterly magazine published by the Costume Designers Guild. Jacqueline talks about receiving a call from FIDM several years ago, asking her to become the Creative Director of the Film & TV Costume Design program at the college. “I was deeply honored,” she told the magazine. “It’s a satisfying solution to my longtime desire to infuse costume design education with things I wish I had known when I started designing.”
Born in Panama, Jacqueline and her family lived in the U.S. and Europe, and after earning a masters degree from the Ring Theatre at University of Miami, she went on to design costumes for 65 stage plays, 14 films, 13 television series, 53 movies of the week, and a staggering 61 operas. In addition, she designed over 250 commercials. The costume designer is President Emeritus of the Costume Designers Guild and has won awards such as the Dramalogue and the Los Angeles Theatre Circle Award.
Students interested in applying to FIDM's Film & TV Costume Design program are invited to campus to attend Spring Open House on Saturday, April 15, where they will have the opportunity to meet Jacqueline SaintAnne in person and get their questions answered about the program. Register here.
