Senior Milliner for Wicked Harvy Santos came a long way and found his own yellow brick road to the Land of Oz, now working on the film’s most iconic costume pieces. “I originally came from the Philippines,” Harvy, who’s now based in the UK, explains. “My fascination for costume started when I was six,” he continues.

He started his career in a completely different field, as a dancer in Hong Kong Ballet, and used his earnings to start educating himself on costumes. “I used to be a ballet dancer. All of the money that I got from dancing, every payday I would buy myself books on garment construction and costume design.” He went on to study millinery at Kensington and Chelsea colleges, and his award-winning hats have been featured in magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and more.
