Costume Maker and Supervisor
ELEANOR WILDE
I wish to work within a wardrobe team to broaden the competences I acquired at university to work as a costume buyer in television and film in the future. I had the responsibility to manage the costume department of a play. Thus, I learned how to undertake historical research for designers, interpret their sketches to find the right items of clothing as well as make, manage and maintain the costumes. I enjoy working in an energizing environment that allows me to collaborate with professionals in order to discover new work methods.
