About Me

I am a recent graduate with a degree in Fashion Design. I have now pursued into costume design and creation, with consideration into make-up and (maybe) wig-work. A costume has a whole life story behind it. I aim to portray entirely accurate historical and cultural references and develop these details into personal characters all of which the audience can understand and in some cases relate to. The importance of costume is simply inexplicable.

Current stuff

I am working on one piece based on the saw method. (This is where the victim was turned upside-down and hung from a post whilst having a saw placed between their legs...delightful). So it only made sense to make this shirt totally different on each half. One side representing the smooth skin still in tact, and the other side showing the tearing and hanging of the flesh.
 The half representing flesh is out of a fine knit. I experiment with knitwear and knitwear manipulation last year, and I came up with some effective techniques. This one is quite simple but very time consuming as it is all hand made, but it really created the effect I wanted to portray the look of stretching flesh.
