About

Hello, I'm Amber. I am currently in my second year of a Costume Design and practice degree.These portfolios of work vary from work used I have completed in university modules, work used on stage in theatre productions and personal projects of exploring themes and media

Elhurst ballet school X Bcu fashion collaboration

A collaboration between Elmhurst X BCU Fashion/ Costume. We had the fantastic opportunity to collaborate with Elmhurst Ballet School to create costumes for their graduate class performance of À La Mode. These shows were performed at the Shaw Theatre in London, and at Elmhurst School. The costumes are based on Shakespeare plays, mine being influenced by Richard III. We had to design conceptual dance costumes by bringing the plays historical themes into a modern, contemporary setting. The costumes combine creative cutting and zero waste pattern cutting techniques to bring a more sustainable conscious approach to creating a costume.
