Eric Winterling was raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where he began sewing at the age of 9. After watching his mother make clothes for his siblings, Eric was inspired to take up sewing, making clothes for himself and his sister, who was his first muse. After receiving his MFA in fine arts from Temple University, Eric began his career as the resident costume designer for the Houston Grand Opera. During his tenure with HGO, Eric realized that his greatest interest was the keen and astute interpretation of design renderings. This discovery focused Eric’s career trajectory on the construction of costumes. After a move to NYC, and a couple of valuable stints in other shops, Eric was able to realize his dream of opening his own studio. Eric founded his company, Eric Winterling, Inc., in 1990 and has never looked back. For the past three decades, he's used his depth and breadth of experience to continuously build and expand his full-service studio. Eric takes a holistic approach to costume creation: He believes, first and foremost, that costumes must stay true to and support the story being told. And because every project is different, Eric is committed to providing the resources, feedback and space necessary to bring the designer’s vision to life.
