Oliver designs costumes for film and television, as well as commercials, theatre and opera.
From conversations with directors, writers, producers and performers through the intricate detail of garments, textiles, colour, pattern, movement and texture, he loves the collaborative nature of costume design.
In both subtle and exaggerated decisions, his work revolves around how costume can enhance image, story and performance.
He graduated in languages (Arabic and Spanish) from Cambridge and went onto a foundation in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, where he began experimenting with costume for performances and theatre. A few years later, he received a full scholarship from London College of Fashion and completed an MA in Costume Design, where he concentrated on garment construction and tailoring, and graduated with distinction.
Costume has been his focus ever since, with films he has worked on screened internationally at prestigious festivals including Sundance, SXSW and London Film Festival.
SCRAPPER, with director Charlotte Regan, was awarded the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for World Dramatic Cinema in 2023, with Oliver nominated for the BIFA in Best Costume Design.
His latest work on the second series of the acclaimed THE NIGHT MANAGER, directed by Georgi Banks-Davies and starring Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, Diego Calva, Camila Morrone and Indira Varma among many others, will air in 2025.
