Costume Designers
Expert costume designers drawing on Morocco's centuries of souk artisanship and North Africa's rich textile traditions.
A costume designer creates the clothing and accessories worn by cast members, using wardrobe to communicate character, era, social status, and narrative arc. In Morocco, costume designers draw on centuries of textile artistry — from the intricate caftans and djellabas found in the souks of Fez and Marrakech to Berber weaving traditions and the contemporary fashion scene emerging in Casablanca's Gueliz district.
We connect you with Moroccan costume designers who bring both artistic vision and practical production expertise to every project. Our network includes professionals with access to Atlas Studios' massive wardrobe in Ouarzazate, Marrakech's artisan souks, Fez's traditional textile workshops, and the experienced costume teams behind Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Kingdom of Heaven.

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 Berber tribal, medieval Islamic, Andalusian, Ottoman, French Protectorate, and ancient/biblical eras. Atlas Studios has one of the world's largest period costume inventories, built through decades of epic 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?
