Costume design isn’t only a beauty contest - the looks on stage or screen must have unique spirit through which the materials, textures, colours and forms reflect the fictional society, visualise the emotions of the character and the journey it goes through. Each character of a screen - scene project must be

approached with individual care in order to develop authentic concept, aesthetics and function when bringing life into a garment.

Costume design is a fantasy by which I am able to form humanity into an artefact.
