Kensington Palace Costume




Final realised costume for “Queen Anne,” character in The Enchanted Palace Exhibition at Kensington Palace in April 2010. Based on loss, as Queen Anne suffered 18 pregnancies with no surviving heir. Surrounding this concept are the ideas of natural death, the cycle of life, innocence, and perpetual mourning.

'Childsplay is an interactive journey through outdoor games across the ages. It happens site specifically OUTSIDE in Normand Park.' I was design assistant on this production.

'Snip Snip'







A new take on the classic fairytale ‘Rapunzel’, revoling around a hair salon run by the wicked witch, who sells wigs created from imprisoned Rapunzel’s hair. A completely original production created by a collaboration of costume designers.

'Les Noces'- The Ballet Russes


The Bridesmaids
The Mother

A ‘Ballet Russes’ production from 1923, choreographed by Igor Stravinsky and costumes originally by Natalia Goncharova. It involves the tragic story of a young couple’s arranged marriage. Without making any changes to the original choreography, I created a more modern concept around a world where an arranged marriage has become a mechanical, factory process, very clinical and monotonous.
