CostumeSalon

In helping you look amazing, I hope to help you dust off your sense of fun and whimsy, empowering you to truly enjoy your life.


I am Julie Anderson, the costume designer and builder. I have been designing costumes professionally for fifteen years. My work has appeared in films such as Lucky Luke, and films for children, The Ugly Duckling and Handrew's Library. I designed and built costumes for music videos for Hank Williams, Jr., Pam Tillis and many others. My costumes have also appeared in television programs, such as Lazarus Man. I have designed and built costumes for dozens of theatrical and dance productions, including The Nutcracker Suite, Queen Elizabeth I, Tom Jones, The Tempest and A Christmas Carol. Recent productions include King's Yellow in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and two productions in Branson, Missouri: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Celebrate America!


My mission is to help people remember how to have fun and tap in to a sense of whimsy and wildness. I have designed and taught workshops in mask-making, costume-building, costume transformation and giant puppet head construction, to name a few. I am a regular Artist-in-Residence at the Summer Solstice festival in Santa Barbara, and frequently lend my talents to local and national "good works" and charities.


My unique vision can be viewed at Costumesalon.com, where my collection of couture, one-of-a-kind costumes are available for rent. Costumesalon.com also features stunning masks and other unique gifts for sale.
