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.

patterns for performance - marie antoinette

My entry for PfP was a costume for Marie Antoinette from the 2006 film directed by Sofia Coppola, including a short sack back from a pattern by Arnold and a self-drafted and hand embroidered stomacher, as well as a hand sewn and decorated hat. I used repurposed and deadstock materials to create the entire costume, and took part in another cross-department collaboration with photography/hair and makeup students to document the finished garment.
