In 2013, she was again nominated for her designs for Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom.”
She grew up in Poland, in the time when the Berlin Wall was going down, half the year in a tiny town and half the year in the country, pretty much in the middle of nowhere having to drive six hours to get to Warsaw.
Before becoming a costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone studied English Literature and Fashion in New York and got introduced into costume design through friends working in theatre where she would help with over 200 plays.
After working on a short film for an avant garde theatre in New York, theatre colleague Tony Gerber asked her to do his first full feature, Side Streets in 1998. Next was Jesus' Son (1999) by Alison Maclean and that market the start of her career in the film industry.

In designing for the stage, Ms. Walicka Maimone has contributed to elaborate experimental pieces by Robert Woodruff (Oedipus Rex) and Richard Foreman (Maria del Bosco and King Cowboy Rufus Rules the Universe). She has collaborated with choreographers Susan Marshall, Twyla Tharp, Donald Byrd, and David Dorfman. Her opera projects have included Philip Glass’ Les Enfants Terribles and The Sound of a Voice. She also worked on the stagings of Book of Longing, in which Mr. Glass interpreted Leonard Cohen in poetry, music, and image.
