Costume Designer Allie Pearce is born and raised in Flourtown, Pennsylvania, a small suburb of Philadelphia. Growing up, she took many art classes and workshops, nurturing her interest in crafting and sourcing unique materials. Her mother taught her to thrift at a young age. She attended a Quaker friends school, William Penn Charter, and there was taught about the importance of community and meditation.



At the age of nineteen, she moved to New York City to pursue a career in fashion and business at Parsons the New School for Design. After completing a few internships with fashion labels, she was asked to work on an NYU Tisch film school thesis project. Her friends were making an experimental black and white film using 16mm cameras previously mounted on planes in WW2. Allie was asked to be the costume designer, as well as act in the film. She fell in love with costume design. In 2009, she graduated from Parsons the New School for Design with a BBA in Design Management.
