NFTS Partners With Angels Costumes on New Costume Design Course

The National Film and Television School (NFTS) in the United Kingdom has announced a new partnership with Angels Costumes and John Gore Studios to support its recently established costume design for film and television postgraduate degree. This two-year program was developed in response to a significant increase in demand for skilled costume designers and supervisors within the screen industries.

The collaboration will provide students with access to Angels Costumes' extensive archive of historical and contemporary garments, offering invaluable practical experience. Students will have the opportunity to work with and learn from the professional teams at both Angels Costumes and John Gore Studios, gaining hands-on experience in a professional setting. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academic training and the practical requirements of the film and television production environment.

Industry veteran Sandy Powell, a three-time Academy Award winner for Best Costume Design, has backed the new course. Powell's involvement signifies the high regard and potential impact of this new educational offering. The partnership is expected to enhance the curriculum by integrating real-world industry challenges and workflows, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for careers in a competitive field. The NFTS has a history of producing highly sought-after graduates, and this new course is poised to become a leading program in costume design education.
