Julia Squire

A celebrated figure in the worlds of costume and makeup, this professional built a lifelong career shaping character through textiles, cosmetics, and design. Born in 1926 in a rural English village, she developed an eye for texture, color, and silhouette that carried from early studies to a dynamic portfolio spanning stage and screen. Her work blends practical craft with a storyteller’s instinct, animating every era and mood with authentic detail. Throughout decades of collaboration with designers, directors, and performers, she cultivated a generous, mentoring presence, guiding peers and newcomers alike. Her quiet influence remains felt in the way wardrobes and faces convey time, place, and personality.
