MIKE BOLTON

 

Hannah has worked as Head of Wardrobe with some of the largest music artists in the world, including Madonna, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, KISS, Aerosmith and Rod Stewart.

Hannah started working with fabric at a very early age, saving her pocket money to pay for summer holiday courses at the Bristol Old Vic on Costume Design summer schools.  After studying Fashion Design at college Hannah decided to pursue her first passion of Theatrical Costume Design at degree level, and after finishing the course moving into theatrical construction and design.

Having worked in theatre for a number of years, predominantly in the world of opera, Hannah’s career took an interesting twist when working as a local for an international pop tour, all thanks to a bowl of Lucky Charms!  The lucky bowl of cereal led to Hannah working and touring with some of the largest names in the Pop, Rock and Rap industries, travelling the world to make sure her artists look their absolute best when show time comes. Working alongside celebrity stylists, major fashion designers and couture fashion houses has given Hannah the insight needed to know exactly what it takes to staff a wardrobe department.


With over 25 years in the entertainment industry, Mike began working in theatre and music at the age of 15, with his first paid gig the week after his 16th birthday.

Mike started in a local venues in the North East of England, working on a range of musical acts and receiving theatre shows. Learning from hands-on experience with lighting and sound, Mike quickly found himself working further afield in venues across the UK and the world.

Mike found himself working alongside Hannah on a number of projects over the years, when they quickly realised the need for an improved way of recruiting for wardrobe and costume roles within the live entertainment industry, both joining forces to form Go For Wardrobe.
