'The Picture of Dorian Gray' Designs (1830s) Part 1
These designs are from my film adaption of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. I set the film in 1830, which is why the fashions and stances of the illustrations are reminiscent of that time period. These designs are for Sibyl Vane, Mrs Vane and Basil Hallward.
I am a Costume Designer and Embroiderer and I'm currently between both Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. This blog is a showcase of my work, showing the different elements of my processes from sketchbook, through to design and final constructed costume. My main aim in creating a costume is the portrayal of character. I am particularly passionate about taking characters from historical productions such as the works of Shakespeare and putting a completely new twist on the character. Due to my embroidery background, I also enjoy working with contemporary embroidery to embellish my costumes.
"Costume can say things that words cannot, and can create effects that a speaker would never equal." -David Mayer
