WELL.. Hello February! 2023 is already flying! It’s been a great start with 4 jobs wrapped up already. 🎬🧵🪡🎥
Goals have been set, motivation has been activated & I’m ready for the year ahead. Looking forward to working with clients both old & new, and seeing what productions come my way. 🤩🎉🎥🎬😍
The end of last year was so busy, I never got round to doing my usual wrap up. So here’s a compilation of just some of the jobs me & my team have designed, styled & help create over the last couple of years. (Basically the ones I had random clips of on my phone!😂)
If 2023 is anything like 2022, I will be truly blessed.
Thanks to all the amazing creative souls I’ve had the pleasure to have on my team ( you all know who you are) & all the brilliant crews I’ve been blessed to have worked with. Here’s to more of the same this year! 🧡🎬🧡 #costumedesigner #stylist #commercial #tv #film #filming #onset #work #creative #artistsoninstagram #sewing #maker #fashion #ootd #motivation #goals

Soft tailoring, sunny tones & a little utilitarian edge - we’re decorating the flat, but in the chicest way! 😉
Ladder is models own. I joke, I actually have no clue where the ladder came from! 😅 but hey! Ya gotta love a prop!

Stylist rule: if it’s weird, wonderful and a little bit fabulous… I’m wearing it. ✨
This cosmic knit is a @vinted treasure — because the best fashion pieces often come with a past life.
As a stylist & Costume Designer, I’m always hunting down pre-loved & vintage gems — not just for me, but for my clients too. Mixing in second-hand pieces is one of the easiest ways to make an outfit feel more dynamic, more unique and a lot more interesting.
And when I’m not buying… I’m selling too! My stock & wardrobe are full of great pieces, so once I’m done with them, it’s great to pass them on so someone else can give them their next life. ♻️✨
Second-hand. First-rate.Saving the planet but make it chic, one outfit at a time. 🌍 #ootd #stylist

Plus look at those dogs!? So cute, but enormous! They kept leaning on me, it was like supporting a baby elephant! 😅
Costume Designer @patrickjack 👋
Costume wise, I wanted to create something quite dynamic, that tied in with the set design. So the outfit was a mix of new & vintage pieces, different textures & bold colour clashes.
