Biography

Born in England to parents of African and Caribbean descent, Gersha Phillips spent most of her childhood in Canada.

Many years have passed, and Phillips's work is now included in numerous films and TV series, including Black Panther, for which she helped costume designer Ruth Carter with research for her Oscar-winning designs.
