Costume Designers

Here is how this works in practice. Our team supplies costume designers who handle everything from today's wardrobe to the multi-hundred-piece period builds that Morocco's epic shoots need. We brief designers on the resources at hand: Marrakech's textile and tailoring souks, skilled Moroccan workrooms, and the dyeing, embroidery and leather traditions that feed wardrobe departments. Costume designers we place run fittings, manage cutters and tailors, watch breakdown and ageing, and set up scene matching with the script supervisor across long historical-epic schedules.

Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, They work closely with the Ouarzazate extras planning so that crowds of Berber background performers, riders and handlers are dressed always. Most are fluent in French and Arabic alongside English. This makes sourcing, vendor deal-making and workroom oversight efficient, and they plan for desert conditions — heat, dust and cool nights — in fabric choice and on-set costume care.

Here is the short of it. Morocco's wardrobe craft is rooted in a living textile culture — the caftan, djellaba and the embroidery and dyeing traditions of Fez and Marrakech — and that heritage is one reason historical shoots choose the country. Decades of epics, from 'Kingdom of Heaven' to 'Game of Thrones', have built costume workrooms in Ouarzazate skilled in Roman, biblical, medieval and fantasy registers, and Moroccan-led cinema such as Maryam Touzani's 'The Blue Caftan' has placed classic dress at the centre of award-winning storytelling.

Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, the ISMAC in Rabat trains costume and design pros. Costume work runs under CCM oversight, with foreign shoots engaging a CCM-licensed local firm. The costume designers we place set up sourcing, ATA Carnet imports of pro wardrobe through Moroccan Customs (the ADII), and large-crowd fittings within that framework.
