Brief - Combine an artists aesthetic with a song that has a good story and create a music video concept and costume designs around this.
Video set in an idyllic 1950's inspired house as we watch a woman going about her daily routine. She is overdressed for the cooking and cleaning we see her doing which makes her look really out of place. As the video continues, we see small patches of blood in the visuals which she quickly cleans up. At the climax of the song, her whole dress is now visible and we see the bloodstain across the skirt making it clear to the viewer that she has commited a murder.

Performance style video set in an abandoned theatre with an orchestra pit. Harry would be alone on stage singing to an empty crowd we see the orchestras instruments moving but the musicians themselves are invisible like they are ghosts. At the climax of the song 'Spectre' will appear and red paint will drip down the walls of the theatre highlighting that he will now become one of the ghosts. I wanted to keep my design classic and simple while a bit dramatic to showcase that the song was originally meant for a Bond film.
Performance style video set in a bright and colourful 80's inspired girls sleepover. Visually I wanted it to be really over the top and busy to make it look fun and playful for the viewer.
Brief - Adapt the play Collected Grimm Tales by Carol Ann Duffy & Tim Supple for a modern audience
I wanted to set the story inside a dress up box where everything you see could be made of items you find inside. I wanted everything to look bright and almost childish because the more delightful and nostalgic the design was the more severe and shocking the gory ending of the play would be to the audience.
-To create this costume I drafted my own pattern for both the top and the skirt to fit the measurements of my model.
-For the shell fabric I sewed my own textile made up of patchworked second hand ties to try and keep the making process as sustainable as possible.
