Costume Designers
Expert costume designers blending Hungarian folk embroidery traditions with Budapest's world-class studio capabilities.
A costume designer creates the clothing and accessories worn by cast members, using wardrobe to communicate character, era, social status, and narrative arc. In Hungary, costume designers draw on a distinctive heritage — from the intricate floral embroidery of Magyar folk costume and the elegance of Budapest's Andrassy Avenue fashion to the grand tradition of Hungarian hussar military dress.
We connect you with Hungarian costume designers who bring both artistic vision and practical production expertise to every project. Our network includes professionals with access to Korda Studios and Origo Studios' wardrobe departments, Budapest's theatrical costume houses, and traditional Hungarian embroidery artisans.

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?
Yes, our costume designers specialize in period work covering Magyar medieval, Ottoman-era, Habsburg imperial, Austro-Hungarian, and communist-era styles. We access Korda and Origo Studios' vast costume inventories and Budapest's experienced period wardrobe teams.
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?
For features requiring significant construction, book 8-12 weeks before prep. Standard productions need 4-6 weeks. Commercials can sometimes work with shorter timelines depending on complexity.
