She was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Royal Shakespeare Company is based. She would later tell an interviewer that her career in theatre design was predestined, and she began by studying architecture with the intention of building sets in theatre.〔 She encountered costume design when studying theatre design with the English National Opera. She later said, "I worked in the theatre for quite a few years, doing costume and set design. In England, it's very much both".〔 〕 She also trained with the Motley Theatre Design Course. Byrne oversaw scenery and costumes for the 1989 comedy play ''Some Americans Abroad''. Her work earned her a Tony Award nomination for Best Scenic Design. Despite her success, she was unsure if she would focus on set design or costume design. She decided on the latter when she was working on a television project for the BBC's Shakespeare series. Byrne said, "I was assisting a costume designer who was fantastic with fabric. It was with her that I actually thought, 'This is what it's all about. This is what I want to do'".〔 In 1993, Byrne created the costumes for all four parts of the TV serial ''The Buddha of Suburbia'' starring Naveen Andrews. For her costume work in the production, she received a nomination at the British Academy Television Awards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexandra Byrne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
