CREATIVE PATTERN CUTTING

The final costume of my second year on the BA (Hons) costume construction degree. Experimentation with a range of creative pattern cutting techniques, alongside critically analysing a piece of text drove inspiration for this costume. 

​

Based upon the creation of the fantastical "Upside Down" world in Netflix's Stranger Things, this costume represents the character of VECNA, the antagonist of the fourth season. 

​

"The idea is it's a shadow world, this murky, dark reflection of reality that feels infected in a way. There's something infiltrating it and sucking the life from it. Thats when we come up with the idea of having vines, as though there's this spreading disease that's overtaking everything." Quote by Chris Trujillo, Production designer, found in 'Stranger Things - World Turned Upside Down' by Gina McIntyre.
