costume designer

The Costume Designer is responsible for ensuring all cast members have a cohesive costume(s) for a production within a set budget. This may involve sourcing and obtaining pieces or creating costumes for the cast. If costumes must be built, it is imperative for the Costume Designer to have strong sewing skills. They must also possess a strong sense of overall artistic vision and be a good listener. A background in historical fashion is also valuable for costuming period productions. Costume Designers work closely with the Director and other creative team leads to create costumes that support the vision of the production.
