NICE TO MEET YOU!
Jennifer Haffenden is a Canadian Screen Award-winning costume designer for film and television. Jennifer has earned a reputation for her authentic designs from past, present and future; for finessing the smallest details; and for her nuanced use of texture and colour. She is also known for doing immersive deep dives into research, and has a penchant for ageing and distressing costumes, and experimenting with Shibori and a variety of other dyeing techniques.
Jennifer's B.A.A. in Fashion Design and B.Comm. in Marketing gave her a fantastic foundation of skills and creative muscle. Her iconic costume designs for the fan favourite sci-fi series Wynonna Earp garnered her considerable attention. Jennifer loves pushing the envelope in a variety of genres, with designs running the gamut from the Masters of Horror anthology series Fear Itself, to the early 60s drama Fortunate Son, to children's theatre in Japan, to the stunt-laden scenes in the upcoming feature Wind River: The Next Chapter.
Recently Jennifer was thrilled to create animal costumes with a tongue-in-cheek homemade aesthetic for the comedy short Now I am a Bear for acclaimed Screenwriter/Director Jason Filiatrault. She was also excited to design the upcoming Season 3 of Netflix’s hit series My Life with the Walter Boys. Ever since sewing her first garment - an apron - at four years old, Jennifer has loved the endless possibilities of taking flat fabric and fashioning it into something that takes the wearer on a character-building adventure.
