Onsite Talk: Sandy Powell in Conversation

Award winning costume designer Sandy Powell is known for her endless curiosity, daring and imagination, while often challenging established perceptions and exploring identities – exemplifying many of the lessons women and girls have taken from the Alice stories. She is also passionate about working collaboratively and supporting new talent – shown for example by her fundraising ‘Autograph Suit’, signed by 200 of the most significant names in the film industry. The suit is now part of The Female Lead, an educational foundation for women, which has worked closely with Powell, including featuring her in their book ‘We Rise by Lifting Others.’
