VFS Online Industry Talks: Glenne Campbell

Learn from a titan of industry how costuming is often overlooked in entertainment.

VFS invites you to a fireside chat with veteran Costume Designer Glenne Campbell (21 Jump Street, Battlestar Galactica, Colony), a titan of the industry with over three decades of experience, and an Emmy nomination for creating unforgettable looks for film, television, and theatre (and even for the Canadian Olympic team!)

About Glenne Campbell
Glenne Campbell, a Vancouver-based Costume Designer, has worked in film, TV, theatre, and special events. Inspired by the 1920s period costumes in the 1967 film Thoroughly Modern Millie, Glenne channeled that spark into professional costuming, designing for 21 Jump Street and dressing a young Johnny Depp. Since then, she’s designed for Bordertown, Lonesome Dove: The Series, Viper, and Da Vinci’s Inquest, before moving into the Battlestar Galactica universe where she experimented with mixing technologies for costumes and earning an Emmy nomination for her work. More recently, she designed for the series, Colony, and later for the hit series, Outlander.

WARNING: This Industry Talk is not for aspiring costumers (but costumers are welcome). Rather, this is an illuminating discussion on the integral, and often overlooked, costume department. Alongside Stan Edmonds, Head of VFS’s Makeup Design program, Glenne will discuss how the industry needs to realign to give greater priority to costuming within production, debunking the misconception that costuming is simply “getting dressed”, and the importance of an open, functional dialogue between costume departments and all other departments.
