As Costume Designer for Days of our Lives, Richard Bloore knows how to make the stars sparkle and shine. A veteran of the business, he has been with the show for 18 years, after a brief time away (Unfortunately, he got the ax at one point.  Canned. Fired. Oh no!), he is now back at the helm.

"I was!" he admitted laughing when the subject of his being fired came up. "But I'm glad to be back and really enjoy what I do," Bloore said. "I have started in this business many years ago and still find it a joy to be working."

Bloore's career began out of college by answering an ad in The Times newspaper. A designer was looking for help and he applied with his portfolio.
