About
I am a third year costume design and making student at Buckinghamshire New University. My specialities are costume illustration and concept art, pattern drafting and cutting and contextual research. I draw inspiration from historical fine art and international pop culture alike to produce appealing and innovative designs and garments.
For this project, we looked at the period romance film Ammonite, directed by Francis Lee and set in the 1840s on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset. I drew inspiration from the local wildlife, plants and the recurring motif of fossils in the film to produce four accessories for three of the characters, using embroidery and screen printing techniques to bring the garments to life and tie them to their wearer's personality and occupation.
