Winners of the 2021 CAFTCAD Awards announced

From a media release:

The 3rd CAFTCAD Awards which aired on May 1st, has once again brought together costumers from across Canada to recognize excellence in every aspect of costume design and arts for film and TV. The CAFTCAD Awards is uniquely positioned as the only event in this country that focuses on this work. And from the very beginning, the CAFTCAD Awards has had diversity baked in as evidenced by the majority percentage of nominees and winners being female and representative of Canadian BIPOC costumers.

Star Trek: Discovery was the top winner at the 2021 CAFTCAD awards, taking home three awards: Gersha Phillips’ designs for Best Costume Design in TV-Sci-Fi/Fantasy, as well as Excellence in Craft- Special Effects Costume Building, and Excellence in Craft- Building. Adriana Fulop and her team won for her designs in Trickster (Best Design TV Contemporary), John Dunnett and his team won for Best Design in an Indie Film for Jump, Darling, and NAACP Award-winner, The Banker, earned another prize for Aieisha Lee’s costumes for Costume Design in Film- International.
