History

In 1999, the Costume Designers Guild (CDG) began giving out its own awards to honor outstanding achievements in costume design at a ceremony similar to that of the DGA, WGA, PGA, and SAG awards. [2] The first CDG Awards presentation was held on February 6, 1999, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, hosted by actress Anjelica Huston. [2] Two competitive categories for excellence in film and television have been presented; Judianna Makovsky and Van Broughton Ramsey won for Pleasantville and The Tempest , respectively. [3] Nevertheless, these categories were divided into various genres for all subsequent ceremonies. The inaugural career achievement award recipients were veteran designers Albert Wolsky and Bob Mackie. [3] All winners and honorees were given the CDGA statuette, which is made of sterling silver and depicts a female figure draped in an amorphous swirl of fabric. [2]

Through the years, the CDG Awards has expanded to include several competition categories that encompass film, television and commercials. [4]
