Jacqueline West

Jacqueline West earned Academy Award nominations for her work on “The Revenant,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Quills.” For “Benjamin Button,” she also received a BAFTA nomination and a Costume Designer Guild Award nomination. West received another Costume Designer Guild Award nomination for “Argo.”

After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, West followed in the footsteps of her mother, a popular avant-garde fashion designer in the 1940s and ‘50s. From 1988 to 1997, West ran her own company and designed a nationally acclaimed line of clothing. West went on to own retail stores in the Bay Area and contemporary departments in Barney’s New York and Tokyo.

West’s first foray into film, as a creative consultant on “Henry and June,” was the start of a long relationship with award-winning director Phillip Kaufman. This led to future projects with such illustrious filmmakers as Terrence Malick, David Fincher, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ben Affleck, Denis Villeneuve, and Martin Scorsese. She has done five films with Malick, starting with “The New World” and including “The Tree of Life,” “To the Wonder,” “Knight of Cups” and “Weightless.” She has also designed “Live By Night” for Ben Affleck, “The Gambler” for Rupert Wyatt, “Water for Elephants” for Francis Lawrence, “The Social Network” for David Fincher, and “State of Play” for Kevin MacDonald, amongst others.

West serves on the Advisory Board of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and spends her time between Los Angeles and her ranch in Deadwood, South Dakota.
