About Vera

A portrait of Vera Chow Costume Designer, wearing a black top and sitting casually, smiling at the camera.
  • If you can't find Vera in the costume department or on set, try craft services. Follow the food.

  • The Arts was bibi Vera's means of coping with childhood bullying. She wrote fiction and drew manga. Illustrated a cornucopia of characters and storyboarded their adventures, all to escape the real world.

  • So most of her drawing / design / sewing skills etc were self taught throughout her childhood + teenage years.

  • She went on to design all her school productions, and won a bunch of local art and theatre awards.

  • She then left Hong Kong, and decided to get her start in, NOT Hollywood, but NYC first, because she did not know how to drive then.

  • Fast forward many years, she is now a “real” costume designer for Film and TV. As in sometimes there’s an actual paycheck.

  • She is happy to design all genres. From 1 mill to 100 mill, zombies to romcoms.

  • She has worked worldwide over 20 countries, with a specialty in Asian countries.

  • She dreads Halloween (seriously can’t deal, also no paycheck)

  • She thinks animals are better than people, adopt don't shop!

  • She thinks no one reads these bios.

  • Here’s her resume! - your reward for reading the whole thing.
