Costume Designers
Expert costume designers blending Adriatic elegance with Croatia's rich folk costume traditions 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 Croatia, costume designers draw on a distinctive blend of Mediterranean and Central European influences — from the elaborate folk costumes of Slavonia and Dalmatia to the Venetian-inspired elegance of Dubrovnik and the cravat, which originated as a Croatian neckcloth.
We connect you with Croatian costume designers who bring both artistic vision and practical production expertise to every project. Our network includes professionals with access to Jadran Film Studios' wardrobe department, Zagreb's theatrical costume houses, and Dubrovnik's experienced costume teams who worked on Game of Thrones and Star Wars productions.

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 medieval, Venetian Republic, Ottoman-influenced, Austro-Hungarian, and wartime eras. We access Jadran Film Studios' costume inventory and Croatia's experienced period costume 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?
