My end of year BA project was based on Tim Burton movies (Sweeney Todd was just out), Marilyn Manson and Victorian fashion.
I already posted pics of one outfit from this collection earlier in my blog (Disorder photoshoot). Here are a few drawings and some shots I took on the mannequins. Am in talks to get a proper photoshoot of the whole lot sometime soon and more drawings will be found in my portfolio when I can get round to sorting out that section.
My HND collection theme was “baroque” and so I created ‘Enfants de la Revolution’.
I based the colours on a piece of 18th Century fabric from a museum and I used lots of inspiration and silhouettes from fashion around the time of the French Revolution. of course I have all this my very own twist.
Here are some pics and a clip from my end of year fashion show…
Unfortunately I was never sent any decent pics from this show, so I just have a few candid shots and a couple of drawings.
I made two outfits for this production in early 2009 as I was busy with uni work. I designed Sour Kangaroo and Horton’s outfits. Excuse the crappy scans…
While doing my final project at university, I was asked to take part in a photo shoot for Disorder magazine as part of their preview of Graduate Fashion Week.
My collection was still unfinished so I had to cobble some stuff together along with accessories and props. I dragged in a suitably handsome young man from work to model for me and he did a chuffin’ good job as you can see from the following photos.
I worked with the Masquerade Theatre Company from late 2007 to early 2008 on a production of The Wizard of Oz. Since the costumes are quite specific I was pulled in to create several of the main characters including Dorothy, Lion, Scarecrow, The Wicked Witch, Glinda the Good Witch, and I also worked on a few other costumes. I designed and constructed them myself (with some help from hubby and my brother on things like Lion’s paws and feet) Here are a few of my original drawings…
