Michele Clapton has always had an interest in fabric and clothing from a young age, she studied at the London College of Fashion and pursued a career in fashion, working as a designer, she opened a stall in Kensington Market and designed clothes for a shop partly owned by Boy George. Later she organised Performing clothes at the ICA combining fashion and dance performance. Michele took a break from fashion and began styling bands designing pop promos and commercials. This led her eventually into designing costumes for film and television. Michele was the costume designer for the HBO series Game of Thrones for seven seasons for which she has won FIVE Emmy awards and a BAFTA. She also designed the first season of the Netflix show, The Crown for which she won a BAFTA and an EMMY .
