Gisela Storch-Pestalozza (born July 17, 1940 near Hamersleben ) is a German costume designer and has worked in the film sector with actors such as Klaus Kinski , Claudia Cardinale and Isabelle Adjani .

Career

Gisela Storch-Pestalozza completed an apprenticeship in a haute couture salon in Hanover and then attended the German Master School for Fashion in Munich. She first completed an internship at the Hamburg State Opera and from 1962 worked as a dressmaker at the Schauspielhaus Hamburg and at the Landesbühne Hannover . From 1974 to 1982 she was a costume master and costume designer at the Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer and Lehniner Platz in Berlin.

She created costumes for Werner Herzog's films, which are now preserved in several film museums around the world. Storch-Pestalozza's work is characterized by a formal will to style, whereby she succeeds in condensing the content and underlining the characters of the figures in order to convey strength, glamor and poetry. Along with Thomas Mauch and Henning von Gierke, the artist was one of Herzog's close circle of employees. Except for the film Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, she was responsible for the costumes of all Herzog Kinski productions and also for the costumes in Kaspar Hauser and Heart of Glass .

The Deutsche Kinemathek keeps textile works by costume designer Gisela Storch-Pestalozza in its archives.
