… a little lesson in history… |

The two images you can see in this (admittedly rather large!) animation show over 20 years of my costuming. The ‘start’ shows me wearing a white ‘Indian’ suit in 1984, which was my first attempt to copy a movie costume – Kate Capshaw’s ‘sacrifice’ outfit from ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’. I was 13 years old when I made this & the picture was taken. The costume was made from old bed linens, a few yards of tulle, an endless amount of sequins and one of my mother’s pearl necklaces – she almost killed me when she found that I had used the pearls for my headdress. The red dress at the end of the animation is my Reproduction of the Pelican portrait gown, which I made in 2005. 21 years are between those two pictures; 21 years full of costuming, of dreams – fulfilled and broken ones, of tears from happiness and laughter, try and error, learning and teaching. Guess what? I’m still there. I’m looking forward to the next 10, 20, 30 years of costuming!
