I am Noelle Theresa Knipe. A Fashion/Costume Designer and Stylist currently located in Tucson, Arizona.

I started a new journey in my design career in Fall 2021 as a Costume Designer on Feature Films while simultaneously working as a Fashion Design Consultant, helping to revamp and build several brands throughout the United States.

Before venturing into Costume Design and Styling, I worked as a Fashion Design Professor. I joined Pima Community College in 2019 as a professor in the fashion design program. I served on the Discipline Faculty Committee, and formerly on the 2020 Fashion Design Department Board. During this time, my collegues and I founded the “In This Together” mask project for the local community COVID-19 support & relief through the PCC Foundation. Prior to joining the Fashion Design Department at Pima Community College, I held a role as a Knitwear & Sweater Designer for Calvin Klein White Label, before transitioning to a position at New York and Company, overseeing Woven Tops and working with special brand ambassador projects such as Gabrielle Union for the 7th Avenue Label. While in New York, I also served as a freelance designer and consultant for various projects, including a commission for The 2015 Burbank Film Festival and consulting for the NY&Co Athletic and Lounge design team. I am a graduate of the Polimoda program for Fashion Design in Florence, Italy, and hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in Art History from Arizona State University. When I’m not on set or designing, you can find me going on a wild adventure with my daughter, restoring our little adobe bungalows with my dad, art projects with my mom, shopping with my brother, Happy Hour with my homegirls or planning my next escape back to New York with my sister.
