About Costumes LA

Costumes LA is a guide to film and television costume in Los Angeles: how Hollywood costume design grew up, who makes costumes today, and where to see, rent, buy and care for them in the city now.

We are not a studio, a costume house or a shop, and we do not sell or rent anything. The guides are built from what the institutions themselves publish: the Academy’s awards records, the Costume Designers Guild and the Motion Picture Costumers, IATSE Local 705, the Library of Congress, the National Park Service’s museum handbook, the Academy Museum, LACMA, the ASU FIDM Museum and the City of West Hollywood.

Where a detail could not be confirmed from the source, the guide says so rather than guessing. Hours, rules and event details change, so check the source before you go.

The guides are general information, not legal advice.
