Adele Thele

Adele is a stylist and costume designer working at the intersection of film, visual art, and narrative-driven... commercial work. Her practice is grounded in character, atmosphere, and storytelling — where clothing is never decoration, but a quiet driver of meaning. Styling came instinctively to Adele long before it became a profession. What started as early experimentation evolved into a refined visual language shaped by years of work across films, commercials, music videos, photoshoots, and selected theatre and art projects. Her approach is intuitive yet precise, always serving the story rather than the spectacle. She has styled international commercial productions for brands such as Volkswagen and eBay, and her film work includes costume and production design for Deus in Machina, which earned Best Costume Award at Italy’s Visioni Italiane film festival. Adele is currently developing her debut full-length feature film. Creatively, she is drawn to feature films and art-led commercials — projects with depth, emotional weight, and space for visual nuance. She works best in close collaboration with directors and creatives who value intention, trust the process, and see costume as an integral narrative tool. Read More
