Costume Designers
Expert costume designers rooted in Austria's rich tradition of imperial fashion and Alpine Tracht for your production.
A costume designer creates the clothing and accessories worn by cast members, using wardrobe to communicate character, era, social status, and narrative arc. In Austria, costume designers draw on a deep heritage of Habsburg imperial fashion, traditional Alpine Tracht, and the elegance of Viennese ballroom culture that has inspired costume design for centuries.
We connect you with Austrian costume designers who bring both artistic vision and practical production expertise to every project. Our network includes professionals with access to Vienna's historic costume archives, Salzburg's theatrical wardrobes, and traditional Tracht workshops in Tyrol, ensuring authentic sourcing for any era or style.

What services does a costume designer provide?
The costume designer creates the visual identity for each character through clothing, working from script analysis through final wrap. This includes research, sketching designs, sourcing or creating costumes, overseeing fittings, and supervising the costume department on set.
Can you handle period productions?

How do you handle background costumes?
We provide complete background wardrobe services including sourcing, fitting, and on-set management. Our team coordinates large crowd scenes with appropriate period or contemporary dress.
What about specialty costumes like stunts or effects?
We work closely with stunt and VFX departments on specialty requirements—creating multiples for action sequences, building costumes for wire work, and constructing pieces that accommodate practical effects.
Do you provide the full costume department?
Yes, we can staff your entire costume department from designer through set costumers. This includes supervisors, buyers, cutters, stitchers, and truck costumers as needed for your production scale.
How far in advance should we book?
