WHO?

The costume designer selects the wardrobe for every character. They make sure the clothes fit the story, the time, and the vision.

„Kostümbildassistenz arbeitet an einem Kleiderständer und sortiert Kostüme.

WHY?

Because costumes define who a character is. They reveal personality, status and time period – even a small accessory can say a lot. Costume is a key part of a film’s visual language.

WHAT?

Create concepts, design outfits, choose materials, organize fittings, and collaborate with the director, production design, make-up, and camera teams.

WHEN?

From early pre-production to the last day on set. In theory, every outfit is ready before the shoot. In practice, script changes, weather or recasting mean last-minute adjustments are part of the job.

HOW?

With creative instinct, historical knowledge, hands-on skills – plus a rack full of fabric swatches, sketches, and access to a strong wardrobe department both on set and in-house.
