Ryan Murphy to be honored by Costume Designers Guild

Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Television producer Ryan Murphy is set to be honored by the Costume Designers Guild by receiving the Distinguished Collaborator Award.

Murphy, best known for his work on American Horror Story, Glee, Nip/Tuck, and American Crime Story, will be honored at the 21st annual Costume Designers Guild Award on Feb. 19.

The award is given to those who have unwavering support of costume design. Murphy joins a list of previous winners which includes Meryl Streep, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo Del Toro, Lorne Michaels, Helen Mirren, Judd Apatow, Clint Eastwood, Rob Marshall and James Burrows.

"No one can deny the indelible mark that Ryan Murphy has left on our television culture, and this year is certainly no exception," Costume Designers Guild president Salvador Perez said in a statement.

"Not only has he given us a continuation of the intense storytelling of 9-1-1 and reimagined the world of American Horror Story with Apocalypse, but his costume design teams, led by long-time collaborator Lou Eyrich, have so vividly brought the 1980s and 1990s back to life with Pose and the award-winning American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace," he continued.

Murphy was recently honored with the 2,653rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
