Soz if i have readers out there but I've had a busy time, moving out of home, lots of working and back at uni.
But I back!
So there's this party at this museum that LCF year 2 kids are taking part in, I suggested a design for the accessory to go with the waiting staff's costume.
So the beginning was about designing and sending in the designs to the clients and let them pick.
This was my entry
So going with the 18th Century style, taking the architecture of his home, the museum, the narrow corridors and the use of mirrors creating depth in the space, and the love Soane had for his wife, I did this masculine cuff design, using millinery techniques of buckram and wire, with Soane's crypt red strip, but then the feminine yellow silk embodying the drawing room his wife would occupy.
And the curved mirror on the inside, a new innovation in the 1700s that Soane revels in, because they're waiters; they greet and serve guests with their arm, so the forearm being a mirror. This was to engage and merge the guests with the staff and with the museum.
Now my design wasn't selected, but the design of Megan (click to check out her ace costume blog!), a fellow classmate and my course rep-in-crime got chosen and since then I have been helping to create her vision. And omg my life is screwed, with my to do list for uni... but it's ganna happen!
I will post the end result and party happening November 7th! Grab a ticket if you can it's ganna be magic
