T

he world of costume design is often hidden behind swathes of fabrics and colours, bringing a sense of awe and magic to a story. In fact, it is such an integral part of good storytelling and character development that great costume designers are highly sought after. This is exactly Costume Designer Ruth E Carter experiences on the daily. And with over 40 films to her name including iconic productions like Black Panther, Shaft, Oldboy and Selma, her star-studded repertoire is as diverse as her wardrobe on each set. Callsheet Africa Editor Kim Crowie caught up with her ahead of the release of Coming 2 America to find out more – including her recently acquired star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
