COSTUME DESIGNER

JULES BARDOS
 WHY THIS INTERESTS ME?
Being a costume designer interests me because I have always wanted to be a designer
and make my own clothes. I have always loved having my own type of style and just
making my own outfits. I like this job because you can make the characters in the show
or movie have their own sense of style, you can even get their own styles entwined into
their characters. I have always had an interest in designing ever since i was a kid, I
would draw in little notebooks dresses and design different styles of bikinis.
