Costume Designers

Alexandra Byrne
Alexandra Byrne was the costume designer for one of my favourite films The Avengers. I've chosen Alexandra because working for Marvel or DC comics is what I'm wanting to pursue. Alexandra has also done many other costumes for productions such as, Elizabeth, Elizabeth the Golden Age, Finding Neverland and Hamlet. Four which she was nominated  for an Academy award.

Alexandra was also nominated for a Tony Award in 1990 for the scenic design for Some Americans Abroad.






Michele Clapton
Michele Clapton is a costume designer for a top hit series Game of thrones, where she won an award for Creative Arts for her second series on the programme.
Again period dramas is another thing I am interested in doing as well as film. Michele has also worked for Film and TV such as The Devils Whore, The Diary of Anne Frank and Sense & Sensibility.
