Fashion Show Sneak Peak.

About a month ago I was asked to do a collection for a fashion show completly made up of op shop finds. Of course I said yes!
The show is in September and is a fundraiser for an amazing charity called the Butterly Foundation. You can find out more about them here.

Here are some of my items.

No Place Like

A few months ago I worked on a show at Union House Theatre at Melbourne University. The show, No Place Like was about families and how messed up they can be in this day and age, incorperating twists, toasters and apocolyptic themes.
It was so fun to work on with directer Tom Gutteridge and the rest of the UHT crew, not to mention an amazing cast and a crazy, brilliant, young writer.
Enjoy the pics!

Holy Moses!!!!!

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to costume assist on the Washington- Holy Moses music video.
It was totally amazing! I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with some absolutly mind blowing costumes designed by the incredibly talented Amanda Fairbanks!

This shoot was so great to be on. The three litle girls in the clip were totally gorgeous and followed us around all day, trying help where they could, hugging us and saying how wonderful they thought we were! So cute and precious!

Check out the behind the scenes here.

Check out the full video here.

The entire day totally changed the way I view costuming. Costumes have such a huge effect on the final product but they also influence the way the wearer feels in it.
Megan Washington was amazing to work with. She is so down to earth and lnice to wrok with.

After working on such an inspiring clip I dont think anything will ever beat it!

Masquerade

I love making masks. This was the first one I made for a school project back in 2007. I still love it!
