© 2015 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved Coordination of the Whole Often, costumes are vital for performers to complete the creation of their characters. Beyond that dimension, the costume design often brings the stage to life, as a moving element that draws the focus and sets the presence of the characters. Costume designers must communicate with the rest of the design team, the director, and the performers to achieve a unified whole that brings the production to completion.
