Hannah Powles

My passion lies in the construction and realisation of costume designs. During my time at AUB I have focused on expanding my technical abilities, gaining confidence to apply these skills in the industry.

In my final year, I created costumes for a lead character in AUB Productions' Wolves of Willoughby Chase, gaining valuable experience in the process of costume making and collaborating with actors.

For my final university project, I was tasked in making a costume fit for a queen. This is to be used for a future production of Gloriana, inspired by Queen Elizabeth I. This project significantly improved my sewing skills, involving the creation of a French wheel farthingale to create this large silhouette, alongside making ruffs, which required delicacy and patience. It is rewarding to see the outcome of my costumes and the progress I have made since the beginning of my AUB journey.

Plans after degree

I plan to pursue my career in costume, with a summer internship lined up in Italy, I then aim to explore opportunities in theatre, film and TV.
