The Costume Designer Winter 2015
CD Janie Bryant is excited to have just launched her first design effort in shoes! Her capsule collection with the amazing Australian-based Shoes of Prey company is now available online and at selected Nordstrom shoe departments. The collection has been featured in major press including WWD/Footwear News, Instyle. com, and others. She also made an appearance on Seattle KING5 TV evening news to promote Shoes of Prey’s exciting new design-yourown-shoe concept and her capsule. Macy’s extended its invitation for the second year in a row to CD Johnetta Boone to be a panelist/spokesperson on fashion during the Soul Era. She will spend the month of February traveling the country for the events. LA members can catch her appearance at the Baldwin Hills Macy’s on February 26. CD Stephen M. Chudej is greatly expanding the stock available at his rental facility, San Marcos Costume Company in North Texas. He recently acquired the Cincinnati landmark, Rick’s Vintage Fashions, formerly headed by Ray Cantrell and George DiLorenzo, essentially doubling the collection of 1940s, ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s men’s and women’s styles available for rent. Having the capacity to ship from coast-to-coast at a moment’s notice, Chudej looks forward to serving the entire CDG community in the new year.
