Costume Designers Guild honours Ruth E. Carter, Glenn Close
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Ruth E. Carter may be receiving Oscar recognition for her costume designer work on “Black Panther,” but she told a packed room at the Costume Guild Awards on Tuesday night that she has created wardrobes for other superheros throughout her illustrious career.
“After working on ‘Black Panther,’ you all asked me ‘How did it feel experiencing designing my first superhero?’ Truth is, I’ve been designing superheroes my entire career,” she said after receiving a career achievement award at the guild’s 21st annual awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The union celebrated the year’s outstanding work in film and television highlighting the intricacies of contemporary, period and sci-fi or fantasy designs.
While accepting a career achievement honour, the designer rattled off several films she worked on including “Malcolm X,” ”Amistad,” ”Selma,” ”Marshall,” ”Do the Right Thing” and “Meteor Man.”
