Sophie O'Neill

Costume Designer Sophie O’Neill grew up in London, graduating from the London College of Fashion in 2012 with a 1st Class Honours degree in Costume Design for Performance. 

Sophie first established herself as a Costume Buyer, Assistant Costume Designer and Costume Supervisor, working on several internationally acclaimed and award-winning feature films such as ‘Jawbone’ for Thomas Napper, ‘Stan & Ollie’ for Jon S. Baird and ‘The Selfish Giant’, which marked her first collaboration with Clio Barnard.

After working as Assistant Costume Designer to Michele Clapton on ‘The King’s Man’ for Matthew Vaughn, ‘The Secret Garden’ for Marc Munden and ‘Mamma Mia! Here we go Again’ for Ol Parker, Sophie designed her first feature ‘Ali & Ava’, collaborating once again with director Clio Barnard. 

Sophie has since designed ‘The Outfit’ for Graham Moore, starring Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, Dylan O’Brien and Johnny Flynn. This project gave Sophie the opportunity to work with Campbell Carey, Head Cutter and Creative Director of Huntsman Savile Row, to produce bespoke suits for Mark Rylance and Dylan O’Brien. 

Sophie’s passion for storytelling in independent film has led her to work with several outstanding directors. Most recently she has designed Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s ‘Hot Milk’, starring Emma Mackey, Vicky Krieps and Fiona Shaw, Dylan Southern’s ‘The Thing with Feathers’, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jonathan Schey’s ‘Everybody Wants to F*ck Me’ starring Taron Egerton and Bijan Sheibani’s ‘The Arrival’, starring Kingsley Ben-Adir and Joanna Scanlan.
