Suzanne Barnes


Costume Designer

Amongst Suzanne’s best-known films as costume designer is the 2019 Focus Features and Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner ‘Clemency’, nominated for 2 Gotham Awards and 3 Independent Spirit Awards. Starting out with a BA in costume design from Wimbledon School of Art in London, Suzanne cut her teeth in theatre and short films including ‘The Seasons Alter’ starring Keira Knightley, before working in independent feature film and high end television for networks like Netflix and FX. Suzanne’s first feature film contract was the ‘Velvet Goldmine’, where she worked with Sandy Powell. She has not looked back since, and now based in the UK after some years in the US, Suzanne will go wherever the work takes her.
