During her impressive career, which has bridged film, television, and theatre—Terrazas has worked with some of the most prominent storytellers of our time, including Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and Sam Mendes.
Terrazas’s creative calling was born of an innate passion for art, nurtured by her mother’s shared love for textiles and her father’s painting. After studying fashion design formally in London and New York, she returned to Mexico, where her career blossomed initially in theatre—a medium that inspired her appreciation for the immense power of costumes in narrative development. She transitioned to film with Gael García Bernal’s ‘Déficit’ (2007), which showcased her innate talent for creating ensembles that reflect the deeply woven psychology and cultural context of characters. She later brought her expertise to Hollywood, serving as Costume Supervisor on Sam Mendes’ James Bond film ‘Spectre’ (2015).
Renowned for her meticulous attention to detail and dedication to cultural authenticity, Terrazas gained widespread acclaim for her work on Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-winning ‘Roma’ (2018). She painstakingly recreated 1970s Mexico City, immersing audiences in its social and historical textures through costumes that honoured both the period and the personal lives of the protagonists. Her collaboration with Alejandro G. Iñárritu on ‘Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths’ (2022) further showcased her ability to merge realism and imagination, earning her an Ariel Award for her evocative and emotionally resonant designs.
Terrazas’s work with Rodrigo Prieto on the adaptation of Juan Rulfo’s ‘Pedro Páramo’ further exemplifies her dedication to historical verismo. By integrating traditional craftsmanship into her designs, she worked with local artisans to create garments that transported viewers to turn of the century Mexico—deftly weaving cultural and symbolic elements into the fabric of the film. Her subtle use of embroidery to reflect character arcs and fates highlights her truly innovative approach to storytelling through costume.
In addition to her feature film work, Terrazas has expanded and excelled in television, designing costumes for HBO’s ‘The Deuce’ and Apple TV’s ‘Hello Tomorrow!’—highlighting her unique versatility and ability to adapt her craft to a multitude of mediums.
As a 2025 Qumra Master, Anna Terrazas will share her expertise in translating narrative into visual form, offering filmmakers a unique insight into the transformative power of costume design. Her commitment to cultural preservation, collaboration, and creative innovation continues to inspire, solidifying her legacy as one of contemporary cinema’s most dynamic artists.
