Lisy Christl has been a frequent collaborator with director Roland Emmerich, beginning with Anonymous in 2011. The costume-rich film earned Christl both an Oscar® nomination and a LOLA (German Film Award) win. Her exquisite work on Anonymous has been widely acclaimed and was featured in an exhibition at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Christl’s second collaboration with Roland Emmerich, White House Down, marked the first time her work took her to Canada on a studio blockbuster. In 2016 she went on to design the costumes on Emmerich’s Independence Day: Resurgence.

Lisy Christl began her career in Berlin after graduating with a degree in fashion from the Munich Masterclass. The first film she designed was Michael Haneke’s TV movie “The Castle,” and since then she has collaborated with the director on Caché, Time of the Wolf and Funny Games. In 2003 Christl was nominated for a LOLA for her designs on Florian Gallenberger’s Shadows of Time. She won the LOLA for Best Costume Design in 2009 for Gallenberger’s John Rabe.

Christl’s other credits include Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life, which explored the life of Franz Jägerstätter, an objector who refused to fight for the Nazis. This gave Christl tremendous insight into this period of costume, which came in handy when she designed Edward Berger’s 2022 film All Quiet on the Western Front, for which she received a BAFTA nomination.

The costume designer’s small-screen work includes the sci-fi thriller series “Counterpart,” for Starz, and Gallenberger’s international miniseries “Turncoat.”Christl currently makes her home in Berlin.
