Costume MakerCompany: Christine AtkinsonBiography: Chrissie became interested in fashion at a young age and remembers selling clothes to her friends in the playground. So after studying a degree in fashion at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London, she set-up her own business selling designs to top New York stores Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.
Now working as a costume maker in the world of film and television, Chrissie recently worked with the comedian Peter Kay – turning him into Maria from the Sound of Music. She has also made costumes for Star Wars and Doctor Who, and made those fantastic pink sequined dresses worn in the television adverts for car insurance company “Sheila’s Wheels.”
