Alice McNicholas

Costume Designer

I am a London based Costume Designer, with a particular interest in costume for Musical Theatre and Dance based performance, and also have design experience in plays and opera.

While I am passionate about costume design for any performance with characters and people, I am particularly interested in costume design for shows with music. Musical Theatre is something that I would love to pursue further, and costume design for Ballet and Dance Performance is another area that I am keen to explore.

Combined with my costume making expertise, and my dedication to character development, my costume designs are ambitious but include attention to detail, so that they can be realised beautifully.

My pronouns are she/her.
