ABOUT ME

A headshot of Anna Shirley

I am an emerging costume creative currently completing an MA in The Art and Craft of the Costume Designer at Accademia Costume e Moda in Rome, graduating in November 2026. Building on a background in Fashion Design, I combine strong technical construction skills with a passion for character-driven storytelling across theatre, film and live performance.

​

Throughout my studies, I have developed a research-led and detail-oriented approach to design, with a strong appreciation for craftsmanship, sustainability and considered material choices. I enjoy creating costumes and garments that are thoughtfully constructed, technically accomplished and designed to support both character and performance.

​

My experience spans costume design, construction, wardrobe and dressing, alongside practical making techniques developed through both fashion and costume training. With a keen eye for detail, excellent organisational skills and a collaborative approach, I am passionate about bringing creative ideas to life while continually expanding my knowledge of the costume industry.
