Theatre design is a time-related aesthetic. That’s why if you see theatre design in exhibition form, it’s sometimes quite difficult for it to be anything other than an exhibition of good model-making skills or good photography. It’s not really descriptive of theatre design as a thing. Theatre design is as mobile as the experience of the audience.

Theatre design is not a decorative form of design; it’s very functional.
Vicki Mortimer, Interviewed by Nell Frizell, Ideastap. 15.06.14
It’s really important that the design allows the live event to complete the story.

The Gold Chocolate party at Cliveden House from earlier this year. Hillarious Ostrich capture, crazy footmen, drag Marie Antoinette, evil doctor- my kind of design brief!
PS. Our ostrich actually laid gold chocolate eggs.

Recapping the busy autumn over at the studio and starting with the 3 page feature we got in the Evening Standard Magazine...and somehow wasn’t credited! Life of a costume designer, but hey, Paloma Faith can be seen hugging my pussy so how bad can it be? We partied hard all night, all week actually and then headed straight to into day of the dead preparations!
My Kawaii Saumraii as featured in online Love magazine. Have had a busy few weeks designing costumes for MiuMiu and Love magazines fashion week party “Tokyo Dreams” at LouLous, London. Now onto a week of designing and devicing a theatre show in the norwegian woods before returning to Loulous Halloween party in october!
One of the most inspiring talks I went to at PQ'15 was Chance Magazine's "All design is chance: reinventing theatre photography and journalism"
Why do people not read theatre magazines like art magazines and fashion magazines? Why is theatre always portrayed in such dull ways? Why aren't fantastic costumes given the praise they should? and fantastic sets? I bought all 4 issues on the spot.
Chance has moved away from photographing theatre in the traditional archival way. You are allowed to see the photographers subjective view of the costumes, sets and actors, and its a very refreshing point of view indeed. Details are visible and explored...emotions, backstage, angles you would never see from the audience. Pieces that might have been unsuccessful performance wise but not design wise come into their own.
Chance is also not afraid of the crossroads between fashion, film and theatre which I find hugely refreshing and I've discovered many practitioners that neither fashion or theatre magazines would traditionally cover.
Visual focus aside there are also many great and detailed interviews with directors, composers, designers, performance makers and theater companies.
I hope Chance Magazine will open up theatre and performance for people who otherwise wouldn't see it, or have strong conceptions of what it might be and look like. It definitely shakes the dust off the word "Theatre".

PRAGUE QUADRENNIAL 2015: A celebration of Scenography and performance
As my website is soon up and running I will continue to use this space for posting recent work, but also to show more behind the scenes images and other costume and performance related topics that interest me.
The first step is to share some of my experiences from the incredibly successfull Prague Quadrennial that took place end of June this year. The event is absolute theatre industry must and I met so many wonderful people, lecturers, theatre makers and it was so wonderfully inspirational. 5 short blasts by Australia, Gobsquads lecture on theatre making, Liquid Loft’s “Deep Dish”, Chance magazine...the list goes on and on!
As a costume designer the project closest to my heart was Critical Costume, which was “founded in 2013 by Dr. Rachel Hann and Sidsel Bech to provide a platform for the promotion and development of new costume scholarship and practice”. They hosted many successfull talks and discussions at the festival and also has a double issue out in “Scene” at the moment, a journal “dedicated to a critical examination of space and scenic production”.

Delphi is an up and coming London based artist I had the pleasure of styling a while back. She mixes Pop, Neo Soul and Hip Hop and you might recognize her from the January Joy posters that was up all around London last year!

From the “Unspeakable” series photographed by Al Overdrive inspired by both Lovecraftian and mythical themes.
I’ve always had this image of super long lashes in my head. The black stained floor has for some reason always represented something deeply Lovecraftian to me: Darkness, the unknown, the abyss.
It was refreshing to explore some of the themes afresh again, having spent alot of time in advertising and costume for theatre and events the last couple of years.

From the “Unspeakable” series photographed by Al Overdrive inspired by both Lovecraftian and mythical themes. I’d been wanting to do a piece based on Eris, the Greek goddess of discordia, and the apple of discord for a long time and finally got to experiment with her character for these series.

Throwback Thursday: Secret Cinema Presents "Back to the Future" July+ August 2014.
Yes this was absolutely mental, costume wise, scale and vision! I I managed to hold back and not see it before I went properly as an audience member and the atmopshere was absolutely amazing. The cars, the actors, the details, the secret 80s dive bar... Hoping we get to do Back to the Future 2 this year!
Throwback:
Grand Budapest Hotel by Secret Cinema...
I worked as assistant costume designer to Martina Trottman on thiis absolutely joyful, hillarious and super colourful production.
