Jaana Fomin

Jaana started working with feature films at the same time she started studying the fashion design program at Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm. Her final collection was awarded ”Rookie of the year“ by the Swedish Elle Magazine 1993. With over 20 years of experience in feature film, an extensive experience in theatre, musicals, television dramas and commercials Jaana masters a broad variety within the spectrum of costume design. She has done almost all of Ulf Malmros feature films and in 2005 she received a Guldbagge Award for her work with the film Tjenare Kungen. The jury commented: "For infallible sense of time and detail in the clothes for the movie Tjenare Kungen". Jaana also received the Grand Prize for the same film on the French film festival Festival International Cinéma Costumes et Mode in 2006. When it comes to build characters and tell their story through their costume design, Jaana gets her inspiration from the script, from the actors and directors she works with, but also from people on the streets, from blogs and from fashion and costume history. Jaana works with the smallest detail that creates an interesting character, to the overall style of an entire production. -” Being a costume designer in film and theatre is like being a designer for a clothing brand. The only difference is that I design my collection for each character, and keep the look together for the entire production. But the approach is similar to one another; to be inspired by something that triggers one's imagination“ says Jaana.
