Rachel Gifford is an Atlanta-based Stylist and Costume Designer in love with the language of clothing. In 2018, she graduated with a BA from Furman University's Theatre Arts program in Greenville, South Carolina, through which she has had opportunities to costume design, work on wardrobe crews, and construct costumes for shows such as The Pillowman, Hair, The Threepenny Opera, If/Then, and Romeo and Juliet. She also has experience in other theater-related disciplines, such as acting, directing, set construction, and lighting design. In 2020, she graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, Wales with an MA in Design for Performance, where she designed costumes for The Merchant of Venice. In addition to her educational experiences, she has held professional positions as a costume technician and dresser for The Lost Colony and GLOW Lyric Theatre, as well as returning to Furman University to work as an Adjunct Professor of Theatre and Costume Shop Supervisor in 2021.
When she's not in the costume shop, her interests include shopping for vintage clothing pieces, knitting, playing bass, caring for her beloved houseplants, and reading coffee table books.
"My interest in clothing is rooted in communicating with other people. Before we can speak, our clothing speaks for us. As someone who is deeply invested in people and in their ability to exercise this form of communication, I want to inspire others to wake up and feel unafraid to show the world who they are, and to carry that confidence with them all day."
