Needed name recognition

I eagerly turned to Dawn Burkes’ interview with the creators of “P-Valley” [“The clothes of ‘P-Valley’ add to the drama,” July 29], as I am a fan of the show and its wonderful costumes. But I was dismayed to see the names of the designers — Alita McGee Bailey and Tiffany Hasbourne — were not mentioned. As a costume designer, I know how much blood, sweat and tears go into designing for a show.

The Costume Designers Guild has been fighting for recognition in the industry as well as pay equity. Our members are 81% female and are paid substantially lower than our male counterparts in the Art Directors Guild. Please respect our work and don’t edit our names out of your article.
