About me
I have loved fashion and costume from an early age, especially film costumes, some of the most inspiring productions I have seen include; Billy Elliot The Musical, Les Miserables, The Patriot (2000), Marie Antoinette (2006) and older films such as It Happened One Night (1935) and Sabrina (1954).I specifically enjoy pattern cutting and tailoring as I love the creative freedom and the magic of seeing a garment come alive!
I'm an avid reader of a wide variety of things, such as historical novels and biographies, as well as fashion magazines such as i-D and Dazed & Confused. I find these both inspire my creativity and broaden my cultural knowledge.
I enjoy going to visit Art Galleries and Museums, especially for inspiration and research purposes; my most loved being the Victoria & Albert Museum and visiting English Heritage or National Trust properties.
Music has been a large part of my life, both to listen to and performing. I listen to and watch a wide variety of music from Classical to Metal, Folk to Big Band, Accoustic to Blues. I have been a member of two choirs and through this I gained my Grade 5 in Music Theory and Classical Singing.
Additional skills:
Pattern Cutting, Cutting on the stand, Tailoring, Trained on Industrial and Domestic sewing machines, Alterations, Minor leather work, Dressing, Supervisoral roles, Minor hair/wigs & make up for theatre, Costume and Fashion history.
