John Campea | 'Sing Sing' Costume Designer Desira Pesta @johncampea | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Desira Pesta is a TV and film costume designer. Her most recent work is seen in A24’s Sing Sing, starring Colman Domingo, which premiered at TIFF before winning Best Film at the Seattle International Film Festival and Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival.
Desira's previous design work has also been screened at several international film festivals, which includes Stay Awake, a drama feature film recognized with multiple nominations and wins at Berlinale; Summer Animals, a SXSW Grand Jury Award winner for Texas Short; and Perfect as Cats, a short film nominated at San Sebastián International Film Festival. After she first moved from rural Pennsylvania to Brooklyn, Desira also ran her own ethically produced fashion line for ten years. Then, she accidentally entered the entertainment industry through body doubling and stunt work on such productions as Boardwalk Empire and Birdman. Desira's journey into costume design stemmed from her roots as a fine artist, painter, and seamstress.
She is a member of I.A.T.S.E. Local USA 829 and has Masters in Costume Design from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
