April Ferry has come on board as the costume designer of "Game of Thrones", replacing Michele Clapton after five seasons.
Ferry, 82, won an Emmy for HBO's hit historical drama "Rome". She has also worked on CBS' "Extant", as well as many films, including "Mask" and "Donnie Darko".
"There is so much left to do on the costume front, so many changes left for the characters and ground for them to cover, and we're so grateful to have someone as brilliant as April onboard to create the costumes that tell the story's final chapters," showrunners David Benioff and D B Weisssaid said in a statement.
Clapton announced her departure in an interview saying she has completed her work perfectly, keeping in mind that its her last project, said The Hollywood Reporter.
"I feel like I've covered all bases now. It was really important to me. Knowing that I was going to leave, to actually design costumes for each (geographic) area (of Westeros) so it's complete. In my head, anyway, it's a complete look I left," she said.
Season six will have a new look along with its new plotlines. Shooting for the next season starts in July in Belfast, Ireland.
