About
Hi, I'm Ellen and I'm an aspiring costume maker, currently studying at Buckinghamshire New University. I love creating garments that feel unique and personal to the character they were designed for. My designing style varies from project to project and I love experimenting to find the best outcomes, whether this be through sketches, textile experiments or draping on the stand. Understanding character and the purpose of a garment helps me to understand my vision and concept for a piece. I hope you enjoy my work so far, and I look forward to sharing more as my skill and style develops further.
A live project for my university course, designing and making for one of the characters from Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus. The project was designed entirely in black and white and my concept explores travel and the stars which feature frequently in the book.
