Lately the Playhouse has been quite slow in terms of costuming. We've been slowing down on Rent and tomorrow we'll finish the last few things that we have. I worked on a jacket inspired by the artist Stephen Sprouse who was a fashion designer with a semi graffiti-esque technique in that he commonly would create stripes of writing, most known for his Louis Vuitton bags. We wrote one of his phrases that he is known for "What do you think the 90's are gonna be like?" all over a red sport jacket. It was interesting to do because I had to vary font so every "T" didn't look the same while still trying to create a look that was very symmetrical. An interesting task that takes awhile for someone that is a complete perfectionist like me. I got it done though and was super happy with the outcome. I've enjoyed learning not only about costuming, but also how to incorporate era appropriate pieces into a design.
