costume designers

Film outfit makers

Costume designers are professionals who create and select clothing for performers in film, television, theater, or other productions.

They research historical periods, interpret characters, and collaborate with directors to ensure wardrobe supports the story visually: The costume designer dressed the cast in authentic 1920s attire.

The role encompasses everything from sketching original designs to sourcing vintage pieces.
