Max Allen and Elliott Adcock are costumers whose work blends
subcultural sensibilities and classical knowledge with a visceral passion for craft.
With prior experience in fashion, as well as detailed and varied research into historical, ethnological and archival costumes and textiles, their work moves between art, fashion and costume with a knack for ‘DIY, sequin-and-feather splashed, outrageously high camp extravagances’.
Their lasting status on the London art and culture scene has made them desirable for regular design consultancy and special commissions for Shakespeare globe, the Garrick Theatre, Selfridges, Vogue, Jo Malone, Magliano, Martine Rose, BBC Proms and Glastonbury Festival.
“Whether Max and Elliott are designing for film, theatre, fashion or performance, their costumes are always a feast for the eyes: immaculately detailed, irreverent, sexy, and never less than show-stopping.” - Alastair Curtis.
