Costume Design

Costume design is so much fun! It’s a little like creating pieces for a catwalk but in this case the runway is a stage in a theatre. The same way fashion designers go wild and expressive when designing their catwalk pieces, we do the same in costume design when creating pieces for the stage. Costumes in themselves are dead but when you have the character dress in them, something magical happens – the costume comes alive.
Here are images of some of the costumes we have produced for stage.
