Costume design combines creativity, research and technique to bring characters to life and build visual worlds. Discover the different professions that dress audiovisual stories.
At ESCAC, we believe costume design is learned through research, experimentation and creation. That is why our learning-by-doing approach places practice at the centre of training. Students explore character development through clothing, from historical research and designing concepts to selecting fabrics, materials and finishes. Through practical projects, each student develops an aesthetic sensibility, learns to make creative decisions and discovers how costumes can express a character’s identity, emotions and evolution.
At ESCAC, we see costume as an essential discipline in building a film’s visual world. Our training encourages collaboration with the directing, cinematography, art and other departments, recreating the dynamics of a professional production. Contact with industry professionals and the development of audiovisual projects help students understand the narrative, aesthetic and technical needs of each shoot. We train professionals capable of bringing their own artistic perspective and transforming costume into a narrative language that gives stories depth and authenticity.
