Andrea
Galer is a high-profile film costume and fashion designer with numerous
credits to her name. She has been designing costumes for the last 30
years firstly as co-designer on Nicholas Roeg’s
“Don’t Look Now”.
Her skilful knowledge of the role of costume and fashion across
historical periods won her a BAFTA in 2006 for costume design in Bleak
House and Jane Eyre netted her an Emmy Award in 2007.
Over 30 years of dedicated research on how crafts and lifestyle affect
the local population and her position in the film industry and her
passion for understanding techniques and those who made them has led to
Andrea Galer exhibiting her costumes at various heritage houses and
such venues as the FIDM in Los Angeles, to provide a deeper insight
into how costumes evolve and her mindset behind them.
The Jane Austen Centre has hosted 2 exhibitions of costumes from her
work around Jane Austen .
