Military and Action Costume Specialist
Elvis Davis has costume design running through his blood, through learning tailoring and design within the family business. Understanding the vital importance of a costume both looking correct and serving the film, he has constantly applied these ethics and has worked incredibly hard to put the right detail onto the screen. With expertise in period & WW2 military, and a career spanning 25 years, he has become the ‘go to’ guy for producers seeking quality and authenticity. He took a break from working in production five years ago, but is now back and raring to go. He’s a member of the L.A. costume designer guild (IATSE local 892) and is available for work worldwide.
