Wardrobe Design & Character Styling


I collaborate with directors, producers, and costume departments to develop:


  • Complete character wardrobes
  • Era-appropriate styling concepts
  • Mood boards and visual references
  • Continuity-ready outfit planning


Each wardrobe is created to support narrative clarity, character authenticity, and the overall aesthetic of the production.


Specialist Vintage Sourcing


I source high-quality vintage clothing across a wide range of eras and categories, ranging from the 1940s to early 2000s.


All items are selected with attention to authenticity, condition, and suitability for on-camera use. Custom sourcing requests can be accommodated.


Production & On-Set Support


Available for:

  • Fittings and wardrobe preparation
  • Styling adjustments during production
  • Wardrobe breakdown and ageing
  • Continuity documentation and management

Support can be tailored to the specific requirements and timeline of your production.

 

Approach

 

My work is grounded in:

  • A deep understanding of historical and subcultural clothing
  • A meticulous sourcing process
  • A commitment to narrative-led design
  • Reliable, adaptable production support


I aim to provide a seamless, professional service that enhances both the visual quality and storytelling strength of the project.
