Melanie Ghisays


Costume Designer

Born in the UK, Melanie grew up in London, Rome and Jamaica. Costumes seemed a natural choice after working for Flip of Hollywood, a vintage clothing store in Los Angeles. She's worked with some of the world’s best known directors, like Michael Bay, Greta Gerwig, David Fincher, Wim Wenders, and actors Jennifer Lawrence, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Margot Robbie, Gabriel Byrne, Tilda Swinton, Bruce Willis, and Hugh Jackman. Comfortable with both period and contemporary clothing, Melanie has natural eye for style and a wonderful relationship with actors. Now based in London, she is available for work worldwide.
