Costume Designers

Here is how this works in practice. We supply costume designers for Polish shoots across features, drama series, commercials and period work. Our team places designers who can run the full costume process — research, design, sourcing, fittings, ageing and breakdown, and on-set scene matching with the wardrobe department — and sets up them with the production designer, makeup artist and script supervisor. Poland has well-stocked costume houses and workshops around Warsaw, Kraków and Łódź, and our designers know how to source period and today's wardrobe locally, hire from theatre and film stock, and commission makers at competitive złoty rates.

Here is the short of it. For global service shoots on the 30% PISF cash rebates, the costume designer becomes the link between a visiting brief and Polish ateliers and suppliers, managing budgets, fitting schedules and large background-wardrobe days alongside the assistant director.

Here is the breakdown. Poland's strength in costume comes from its long buy-in with period and war drama. The country's 20th-century history has driven a steady output of historical films. Wajda's 'Katyń', Polański's 'The Pianist', 'Cold War', 'The Zone of Interest' — and each demanded precise, research-led costume work. The National Film School in Łódź and Poland's theatre custom train designers in cut, fabric and historical accuracy, and the costume houses have built wide stock across the medieval, 19th-century, WWII and Cold War eras. That depth means a production filming in Poland can mount a fully realised period look without importing wardrobe, supported by designers fluent in both real reconstruction and the cleaner demands of today's commercial work.
