Tania Ballvé. Costume Designer
“A dress has no life of its own unless it is worn, and as soon as this happens another personality takes over.”
Elsa Schiaparelli
Born in Barcelona, Spain. After receiving my BA in Fashion and Textile Design from Istituto Europeo di Design and MA in Fashion Styling, Advertising and Audiovisual Media, I spend the first five years of my career working as a wardrobe stylist in the music video industry. Some of the artists I've worked with are Macaco, Chenoa, Pablo López, El Arrebato, and Nena Daconte. In 2017 I moved to the United States to pursue a career as a Theatre Costume Designer. Recent work includes Rigoletto for South Bend Lyric Opera, Masterclass for Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre, The Importance of Being Earnest for Patriot Theatre Company in Chicago, Phantom for Quincy Community Theatre, and West Side Story for The Morris Performing Arts Center, among others.
