Emma Jealouse
Aged 15 Emma told the careers advisor that she was really interested in interior design so, like any good careers advisor, he promptly ignored that and sent her off to Cauldon College, in Stoke on Trent, to do a BTec Diploma in fashion.
​
Two years later Emma left with her diploma and secured a job making that quintessential Eighties fashion item – the made-to-measure track suit.
By 1989, after track suits had had their day, Emma was drawn to the theatre. She took on a dressing job on the Nottingham
Playhouse’s touring production of The Hobbit and her love of costume began.
Fast forward to today and Emma has worked with many world-renowned companies including the Royal National Theatre, Royal Opera House, Royal Ballet, English National Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company and the Chicago Lyric Opera.
Emma’s theatre, TV and film work includes the Sound of Music, Oliver, Les Misérables, Matilda, Bat Out of Hell, Phantom of the Opera, Kinky Boots (film and West End show), 42nd Street, Dream Girls, Nell Gwynn, Beautiful, Half a Sixpence, Groundhog Day, Mary Stewart, Betty Blue Eyes, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Hamlet, Barnum, Tomorrow Never Dies and Waking the Dead.
Emma now runs a team at her workshop in Kingston and travels extensively to bring her personal attention to detail and meticulous fitting skill to productions around the world.
