About this episode
Rob Andrewartha discusses his extensive experience in millinery and costume design, highlighting his impact on theatrical performances.
Rob Andrewartha is a milliner, a costume designer and a true creative. Though his experience spans decades, his design work spans more than two centuries - from 1810, 1920 to the rocking 1950s and beyond! His ability to transform a show and a performance through his exquisite talent, taste and attention to detail is unparalleled. Many a show has rested on the shoulders of his bold, subtle and articulate period costumes. The quality of his costuming prowess is such that whole shows can be staged with his dressing and styling - with no backgrounds required! Who needs sets when we have the humble, kind natured, all round great human - Rob!
