Hampton Court- 'The Rover'

Upcoming show happening at Hampton Court Palace, an amazing venue for a baroque and erotic styled show. The costumes are beautiful, coming from 1600's with a contemporary twist.


...It's sexy and brilliant. Going to be a truly great experience.

Past

I think it is important to follow a personal journey, having worked my way up from being a studio intern for fashion designers, going onto theatre's, fashion films, photography and feature films.

MARY KATRANTZOU

Mary Katrantzou studio assistant and model dress for London Fashion Week 2009.

Shoe decorator also for the LFW 2009 show.

Back again as a studio assistant at Mary Katrantzou's in 2010. This was more of an experimental position looking into fabric techniques and sampling for the collection.

ADA ZANDITON 2010

Shortly after Mary I went to work with Ada Zanditon, a very different experience.

This was a much harsher working environment (despite being an ethical designer).

There wasn't, from what I saw, much at all ethical. Aside from this, she is certainly an abstract minded and incredibly talented and creative artist.

I helped out with a few pieces which went on to be sold in Belgium. This jacket being one of them.

The Receptionist

So we have just finished filming the trailer for the upcoming feature film The Receptionist. The story portrays the inner workings of an illegal massage parlour through the eyes of an innocent receptionist. Set in present day London it is an accurate account of what happens on (and off) the streets...

It was a great concept to work with and as it is an oriental film it had quite a different approach to costume design and styling. Produced and directed by film-maker Jenny Lu for Uncanny Films Ltd with myself as the costume designer, sourcer and stylist for this production.
