Costume Design Professor, Deborah Landis talks about
experiences while teaching in Cuba.
Last May, when costume design Professor Deborah Landis was invited to conduct a workshop at a film school in Cuba, she had no idea what to expect. She certainly didn’t think that she would be designing costumes for 18th century merchants, pirates and the new American Republic, French Royal, French Republican and British navies.
The founding director of UCLA’s Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design, Landis is an experienced costume designer who has worked in Hollywood and Europe for many decades. Her work includes “Animal House,” “Blues Brothers” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.
