CSULB Illustration Professor Robin Richesson illustrates costumes for movie
Posted on December 19, 2018 by School of Art
CSULB Illustration Professor Robin Richesson illustrated the costume designs for the upcoming movie If Beale Street Could Talk. Her works appear in a Hollywood Reporter article this week and coupled with costume designer Caroline Eselin-Schaefer’s words, we see how the costumes do more than just clothe; they also help tell the story. Much of this, as Eselin-Schaefer puts, comes straight from author James Baldwin’s original story: “He gave us the color. He is so descriptive of color of the clothing in the book.”
Congratulations Prof. Richesson!
