About
A current second year university student studying Costume Design and Making at Buckinghamshire New University, with a particular passion for theatrical costume.A designer with creative and innovative visions which I have developed throughout my course. Also a proficient seamstress and embroiderer.
For my final project of second year, I was tasked with constructing a historical corset and completing a full outfit to go with for a ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This was a very fun creative challenge to be able bring my entire design to fruition and helped to develop my creative problem solving and sewing technical ability and accuracy. I was inspired by the fruitful description of the play, creating garments symbolic of a flower. I wanted to evoke a clear difference between the oppressive, misogynstic Athenian world compared to the forest, which allowed the lovers to be authentically themselves. I have ensured a vibrant colour palette, drawing inspiration from fruitful nature descriptions in the play, dressing the lovers in complimentary colors.
