STACY CABALLERO
Costume Designer
“Before a character speaks, costume has already begun telling their story."
Stacy Caballero is an Emmy-nominated Costume Designer, fashion historian, and storyteller whose career spans film, television, commercials, and large-scale productions. Known for her artistic range, she creates highly conceptual, character-driven designs grounded in research, craftsmanship, and exceptional attention to detail.
Her recent work includes The Rescue, the upcoming feature directed by Potsy Ponciroli; Green Day’s feature film Nimrods, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; Ari Aster’s Eddington; and Marvel’s Echo, for which she received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes. Her credits also include Marvel Studios’ Academy Award-winning Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, along with an extensive body of work across major studio films, television, and commercial productions.
Her background in fashion, costume design, and theatre laid the foundation for a career that moves fluidly between intimate contemporary storytelling and large-scale period, fantasy, action, and superhero worlds. From developing an individual character to contributing to complex world-building, she approaches costume as an essential part of storytelling—revealing character, history, psychology, and emotion before a word is spoken.
In addition to her professional design work, Stacy is deeply committed to education and mentorship. She serves as an adjunct professor at DePaul University, where she teaches From Sketch to Screen: Storytelling for Film, Television & Streaming, bringing professional practice into the classroom through historical research, visual storytelling, character development, and the realities of contemporary production.
