They wrote: "We were so saddened to learn of the passing of costume designer Stephanie Collie. Stephanie's incredible work in our first series was key to creating the iconic look of the Peaky Blinders, and has gone on to inspire so many people around the world.
"She was an accomplished and talented designer — but the world has also lost two precious natural resources: her wry wit and acerbic observational humour. My condolences to her family, colleagues and all who knew her. Rest well, Stephanie." She started her illustrious career by working in the BBC's sewing room alongside costume designer Susan Coates. Stephanie went on to work with actor and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh as part of the Renaissance Theatre Company. The creative moved from the stage to the screen when working on Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
