Hayley Nebauer

Creating unique costumes ideal to the needs of each director and production, since 2000 Hayley has worked as a costume designer for film, television, theatre and more. Originally from Australia, she attended RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia). Hayley has been based in the UK since 2005. To date, she has worked in Australia, England, Wales, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Scotland, France, Northern Ireland, Greece, Spain and Brazil. Hayley grew up in Tasmania with an early interest in period costume history and science fiction, both influencing her heavily. With strong costume cutting and making skills, many of the productions she designs have a high percentage of costumes custom made for purpose. Hayley often uses a process called 'hybrid design' to blend her love of rich historical costume with contemporary design and other contrasting aesthetics. Colour remains a central focus of Hayley's work, balance through asymmetry and the use of hard curves also define Hayley's more stylized work. Hayley was chosen as Artist in residence at the V&A Museum 2012-13, in association with the blockbuster exhibition 'Hollywood Costume'; her work in the residency was focused on Hybrid-Design for Science-Fiction genre. During her residency at the V&A she produced a 23-minute science fiction film called 'AIR' which starred Antonia Thomas, Tom Riley and David Schofield. In 2013, Hayley also participated in a design residency in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as part of the 'Tempo festival'. With strong experience in both period costume and contemporary, Hayley continues to work on varied projects, with a strong emphasis on new creative design for the future while reflecting the richness of the past.
