Stefano De Nardis professional training happened in the world of Haute Couture in Rome, whilst at the same time studying Fashion and Costume at “Accademia di Costume e Moda” : he transitioned as Product Manager in the Far East for an italian ready-to-wear Firm, and landed in the Costume field thanks to his productive experience in running very big, very demanding workshops.
For this reason he alternates to his own commitments as Costume Designer the responsabilities of supervising costume-making for large-scale international projects : he ran – in several Countries all around Europe and the Middle East – manufacturing workshops for (among others) “Prince of Persia – the Sands of Time” , “Pirates of the Caribbean – on Stranger Tides” , “47 Ronin” – and supervised Costume Departments during italian shootings on (among others) “Jumper” , “Avengers – Age of Ultron”, the Bond movie “Spectre”, Ridely Scott’s “All the money in the world” , George Clooney directed TV miniseries “Catch 22”, the blockbuster “Men in black : International” and the forthcoming “The King's Man”.
Having been involved , since he was an Assistant , in the making of several Biblical-themed international television miniseries (various episodes of “The Bible collection” – Lux Vide/Rai Fiction), he has gained a Costume Designers Guild of America nomination for best costumes with his work as Designer for “Coco Chanel” , the 2009 Golden Globe nominated Alchemy TV movie .Since 2010 he signs costumes for a continuous line of TV series or miniseries for italian TV Channel 5 / Fininvest – and , internationally, has worked as co-designer to Academy Award winner designer Janty Yates for Ridley Scott’s “Exodus – Gods and Kings”, and as a designer for the Emmy-nominated NatGeo miniseries “Killing Jesus” , the movie “Young Messiah” , a Sean Bean
vehicle based on Anne Rice’s best selling novel “Christ the Lord : out of Egypt” , and the feature
directorial debut of Luke Scott, “Morgan” – starring Kate Mara , Anya Taylor-Joy and Rose
Leslie.
At the moment he is busy supervising the Costume Dpt. for the Italian leg of the next Bond installment “No time to die” - due to open in April 2020 - starring for the last time Daniel Craig , and “villain” Rami Malek.
Stefano De Nardis lives currently in Rome.
