Model La Dutchessa

Taken at Oh, Marisha! art exhibit and costumes show in Cologne, March 2018

This outfit was commissioned because of the fabric with suitcases print. The idea was to create a bustle dress for a travelling lady. But as she travels, she’s got lost and not all her baggage is in one piece. She’s lost some parts of the costume too, that’s why parts of it are made from patches and joined together by rope and belts. Not all buttons are matching, and some of her luggage is coming lose, as can be seen on close-ups of the hat. The postcards and notes she’s gathered through her journeys, are also stuck around her dress. This costume was a lot of fun to bring to life and reassured me once again that I would love to get involved in costume design and production for film.
