Creating six distinct looks in three entirely different worlds for MUSE required a mix of styling and custom construction. Watch the teaser below:
This project was conceived as an experimental fashion film to showcase the work of FIT students, so the goal was to honor the designer's original aesthetic vision while styling in a manner that augmented the storytelling vision set forth by the director. Some designers ended up pulling their work shortly before production, which required the film to change direction last minute; as a result, the costuming efforts became a mad dash to blend available styling pieces with emergency purchases and custom made clothes. The process was a challenge for which I am deeply grateful, and the final product felt like a marvel -- in collaboration with another costumer, we created a world equal parts haunting and romantic, grotesque and alluring.
