About
Rebecca Ward is a costume designer with an MA (Dist.) in Costume Design for Performance from UAL. Before her degree, she designed and supervised costumes for three amateur theatre companies working with professional creative teams and overseeing up to 140 performers. She is an experienced collaborator and relishes finding new creative approaches, even with tight budgets. She is keen to work on projects from inception - from individual cabaret artists to larger theatrical productions. Storytelling is at the heart of everything she designs, as is colour and texture, and playing with scale.
As a visual arts and fashion publicist, Rebecca has worked with dozens of national and international institutions including V&A, Tate, Sarabande Foundation, Phaidon and the British Pavilion at Venice Biennale with artists including Dame Sonia Boyce. She has worked with Nick Knight, David Bailey, Andrew Bolton and Stephen Jones. She also has an MA in English and Critical Theory from Goldsmiths.
