I periodically get asked why I don't put my own work on the blog, I think I just wanted it to be separate but perhaps I should be sharing it a bit more.
This commission was a 'lime inspired' costume for the launch of Glasgow's Limelight Bar and Grill, the remit was brief: "a 60s inspired dress with a large picture hat heavily featuring limes". Perfect.
Think I cleaned the UK out of artificial lime slices in one fell swoop and the largest hat shape that I could find only came in blue - nothing an afternoon with a can of spray paint couldn't fix!

Personally, I always request that the model/actor come for a fitting ahead of shoot day. Although this can be a little more expensive, it's the only way to ensure a perfect fit and has the added benefit of allowing the artist to visualise what they'll be wearing on the day.

Wow, a rather bizarre request, no?
ReplyDeleteI know, right? But they were adamant that's what they wanted and seemed to really love the results. (I'm told one of the female company directors wore the hat to Ascot!) x
