MEKEL BAILEY: Baby Reindeer costume designer, finding Martha's cardigan in a charity shop and styling Nicki Minaj

Baby Reindeer costume designer and celebrity stylist Mekel Bailey, has taken a more unusual path to get to where he is today. Having fought off imposter syndrome, Mekel dedicated months of his life and countless hours in London’s charity shops to help bring the characters of Donny and Martha to life, heading up the costume team on this year’s Netflix hit Baby Reindeer. His time working closely with stars such as Kelly Rowland and Drake, as well as being a part of the styling for Nicki Minaj’s breakthrough album Pink Friday, has all contributed to making his presence known in the industry. A father, a fitness lover, a 4am runner, Mekel discusses what it takes to work on such an intense schedule, and how ultimately it’s all worth it.
