People You Should Know: Sommer Terry

Fashion would not be possible without the outlandish minds of costumers. We take ideas every day from costumes we see whether it be in the movies, or couture runway shows with garments that would never be practical for real life.

Sommer Terry, a native of Texas, attended Columbia College Chicago where she studied fashion retail management. The school's costuming program in L.A. catapulted her career in L.A.'s fast lane. Before Sommer knew where her journey was taking her, she found herself on the sets of movies like Bob Funk, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, and Dance Flick. However, it's her assistance on Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland that looks like her golden ticket to a magical land of outrageous costumes and blockbuster films, and awards a plenty for these beautiful characters. 

We love people like Sommer - at only 24 she has already gained great success in a field that she loves. We can't wait to see more of her costuming and styling on the big screen. Sommer is a great inspiration for those of you who are looking to find realistic ways to break in to the fashion industry.
