Rachels career spans over 24 years of costume design and costume making.
Her career began by designing costumes for ballet and contemporary dance for opera houses internationally. Her love of dance and movement in costume continues,
as in the recent work for New York City Ballet/Pontus Lidberg.
Her worked progressed into film where her interest in space suit and science fiction costumes is called upon by feature film and publicity.
The distressing and ageing of costumes and techniques of dyeing fabric by hand are a particular passion.
Quoting one journalist about Eden Log feature film "the costumes look as if they have been to hell and back".
She has created obese costumes for Dany Boon and The Royal Swedish Ballet.
Organic costumes for Zone Blanche and The Verdun Centenary in France.
Animal costumes for publicity, television, The Royal Danish Ballet and the bird costume in Labriths new single "Miracle".
And a robot costume for The Golden Age Circus in Kuwait.
Born in England, Rachel studied constructed textiles in Manchester College of Art receiving a BA Honours Degree. Her early career was in sculpture installations for public buildings. In 1992 she moved to France, where her love of textiles motivated her to begin her career in costume.
