Costume Designer & Stylist
Veryan Raiker
We always knew the look of Annie Audrey, particularly the costume design, was going to be very important and a possible make or break aspect of our film. We are likely to face so many challenges when attempting to construct Annie’s fantasy world, the biggest of which will be trying to recreate scenes from the glamorous 1950s; if we fail to this convincingly, we risk shattering the illusion altogether for both Annie and our audience. Therefore attention to detail is essential. In addition to this, Audrey Hepburn’s name is synonymous with high fashion so it is likely that some members of our audience will bring with them their own expectations about the clothing and designs that will feature in our piece.
Therefore, the role of Costume Designer & Stylist to this production is going to be very demanding and will require a lot of time and more importantly, a lot of talent. However, we are very fortunate enough to know the right girl for the job: Veryan Raiker.
Although Veryan is currently studying English Literature at Goldsmiths University, her main passions and interests in life are fashion and design. She already has a vast amount of experience in this field. Earlier this year she was an assistant stylist on the Klaxons’ “Two Flames” music video. Prior to this, she spent time as a PA to fashion designer Henry Holland during, and in the preparation leading up to, his SS10 & AW10 collections. Before this in 2009, Veryan assisted styling various fashion shows during the SS10 collections, including the Belle Sauvage and V&A show alongside Bubbles (Jo Gilmour). Additionally, Veryan has completed an internship with designer Nova Dando in which she assisted the styling of La Roux’s “I’m Not Your Toy” music video, amongst other projects. On top of all this experience, she is regularly working on her own designs and making her creations.
Veryan has been extremely excited about the Annie Audrey project from the very beginning, when it was still a concept in Kimberley’s mind. She has taken on the challenge of styling the whole production, and designing and making Annie’s costumes from scratch and is really looking forward to the opportunity to showcase her wide range of skills. In turn, we are all looking forward to the results!
