Stacy Caballero is a multicultural storyteller and fashion historian who works as a global Costume Designer for feature films, television, and theatre.  She is known as an artistically diverse talent in the entertainment industry.  She has the ability to execute highly conceptual designs with impeccable detail and craftsmanship.  Some of her favorite projects include Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which won the 2023 Academy Award for Best Costume Design, Coming 2 America, which won 2022 Costume Designers Guild award for Excellence in Contemporary Film, Harriet, Miss India America, Thor: Ragnarok, Burlesque, Star Trek, Jupiter Ascending, Echo for Marvel Studios and recently Eddington with director Ari Aster.

Prior to her work in film and television, Stacy was born and raised in a small town along Bayou Lafourche, outside of New Orleans. Her Lebanese grandparents owned and operated a department store in Louisiana, so from young age, Stacy had a passion for clothing and storytelling.  After spending a year at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York studying fashion design, she returned to Louisiana to finish her Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana State University.  While in undergrad, Stacy enrolled in a theatre class as an elective and discovered the compelling world of storytelling through costume design. This revelation led her to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree at The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago, where she honed her skills on the main stage at the Merle Reskin Theatre while also contributing to Steppenwolf Theatre’s New Plays Series and student matinee productions.

Following her graduation, Stacy relocated to Los Angeles, where she now resides and operates on a global scale.  In addition to her work as a Costume Design storyteller, Stacy is deeply committed to nurturing emerging talent.  For the past three years, she has participated in a university-credited mentorship program, guiding design students at Louisiana State University and Southern University.  Currently serving as an adjunct professor at The Theatre School at DePaul University, Stacy imparts her wealth of knowledge in costume design for film and television to aspiring creatives.
