A few months back I designed a production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. My FAVOURITE Shakespeare play. To celebrate the Bard's 450th I will share some of
Nick Spratling's lovely production photos of the show.
It is also a great opportunity to share som of my styling ideas for the costumes. Here, Hermione embraces Leontes, but can you see the leaves scattered over her gown. This is the final scene of the play where the themes of growth and the power of nature have finally overcome the tyrannical Leontes. The new spring leaves over her once sterile white gown give a sense of optimism.
Here Coco wears a classic Bohemian shepherdess outfit. We had great fun with clashing patterns and prints in a big bold celebration of colour and spring time. Costume supervisor Nicola Holter and I had a great time rummaging in the
Bristol Textile Recycling plant to get our hands on such incredible knitwear like this great cardi.
There were plenty more cool finds in my studio as well as the Textile recycling plant to create the Bohemian Sheep Shearing festival. As well as this, Nicola made each cast member a bib apron out of various beautiful floral and toile fabrics for a garage of pastoral glory!
