Hire

Do you want a custom costume or need help with a special project? Then hire a designer from The New Orleans Costume Center’s Designer’s Guild.

All of our guild members are local artists who are ready to help you design or fabricate a costume, make special accessories for events, outfit performers for a show, or make alterations to an existing costume. We can even make special handmade swag or accessories for a party or event. Whatever your costuming needs, there is a Guild member willing to offer their unique talents, skills, and input. You can see our Guild member profiles below and contact them directly or fill out our designer hiring form and let us connect you with a Guild member.
