“I was 15 when I knew that I wanted to be a costume designer. I loved history and sociology, sewing and building things as well as film history and making, so it was clear to me that this was what I wanted to do for a living.” Caroline Koener studied costume for screen and stage in Bournemouth, England, gaining essential work experience from makers and designers in the industry during her studies. Straight after university she started working as a costume maker and dresser, mainly for theatre, film and dance, and then as a costume designer. Her first professional assignment was making patterns for 40 costumes for a dance performance directed and choreographed by Helen van den Kerchove.
