I would love to have enough time to record all the labels in the costumes, some of them are more beautiful than the garments they cling to. If they are hanging on by a mere thread they have been known to come home with me...
I am a costume designer. Whilst at work I see many things - fascinating and inspiring; the benefits of my profession.
Details not destined to make the cut.
Tools of the trade, research, materials.
Things out of context.
Things I collect and may use someday.
Fabrics, prints, articles of clothing.
Trimmings, equipment, workplaces.
An additional interest in workwear, the pleasure of being able to guess at a person's occupation or background by their dress. Recreating this, realistically or otherwise but always believably is, after all, the job.
