TV & Film Costume Design by Gresham Blake Studios
For over two decades, Gresham Blake Studios has worked across television, film, and music: designing distinctive costumes, tailoring for leading actors, and shaping iconic screen characters. Our work spans Channel 4, Sky Atlantic, BBC, ITV, Amazon Prime, music videos, and major feature films.
Where It All Began
Our first major breakthrough came with Footballers’ Wives, a production that set the tone for our future in TV and film styling. Bold, glamorous, and playful, it was the perfect platform to showcase the expressive tailoring that would define many of our screen projects.
The Business – Danny Dyer, Geoff Bell & Tamer Hassan
This was followed quickly by The Business, starring Danny Dyer, Geoff Bell, and Tamer Hassan. One of our favourite scenes to work on was the infamous mayor’s scene: an opportunity to bring drama, humour, and sharp suiting together in a way only film can.
From Pop Videos to Global Icons
As our reputation grew, we moved into music videos, from Mel C to Rag’n’Bone Man and the animated world of the Gorillaz. These projects pushed our creativity visually and technically.
Costume Design Across Major Broadcasters
Gresham Blake Studios has collaborated regularly with BBC, ITV, Sky Atlantic, Channel 4, and Amazon Prime: designing and tailoring for presenters, actors, and entire casts.
Joel Dommett – The Masked Singer
Bright, playful, statement tailoring for one of the biggest entertainment shows on UK television.
Kenneth Branagh as Boris Johnson – This England
We crafted the structured navy suits, shirts, and red ties for Kenneth Branagh’s transformation into Boris Johnson in the Sky Atlantic drama This England. Recreating the Prime Minister’s wardrobe in forensic detail demanded precision right down to the weight of cloth and knot style.
Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge
We’ve dressed Steve Coogan for multiple Alan Partridge projects, each requiring a balance of slightly awkward styling with sharp, believable tailoring.
BBC’s The Cleaner, King Gary, and ITV’s Grace
Additional long-term collaborations include costumes for The Cleaner, King Gary, and ITV’s detective series Grace: the latter of which Gresham also appeared in, in a memorable cameo.
Paul Raymond Biopic – Steve Coogan & Anna Friel
The Penguin Lessons
Beautiful, character-driven tailoring for a warm, heartfelt film featuring Steve Coogan and Jonathan Pryce.
Ideal Home – Steve Coogan & Paul Rudd
Bold, colourful, expressive tailoring that matched the film’s energy and humour.
Why Productions Choose Gresham Blake Studios
Productions return to us because we bring character-led tailoring that tells a story, fast and precise turnarounds for tight schedules, experience across drama, comedy, music and entertainment, and the ability to design, tailor, and fit on set or in-studio.
Whether crafting a politician’s wardrobe, a pop star’s stage statement, or a comedic anti-hero’s slightly awkward blazer, Gresham Blake Studios uses tailoring as a storytelling tool.
