Bacchae, Euripides
As a classics major at Scripps College, I have always been fascinated with Euripides’ Bacchae. Its wild, theatrical nature, encapsulated in a twisting of gender binaries and relationships. After studying at the London College of Fashion, I realized the root of this twisting is based, like all theatre, in the costumes. My thesis, Reimagining the Costume; the Role of Fashion in Euripides’ Bacchae, aims to explore these binaries through a theoretical and modern adaptation of the Bacchae.
Disobedient Denim
A collaboration of creativity while based at the London College of Fashion. We wanted to explore the boundaries of denim, and how it’s use has been manipulated throughout history.
Re-Education of Prep
Again with the same London College of Fashion team, we took on the world of commerical styling and attempted to reimagine what “preppy” as a style means. Brandy Melville meets Vivienne Westwood.
Bakkai, Ann Carson
I was invited to style another translation of the Bacchae, this time for the stage. Carson, known for her highly intrepretive translations, was a perfect conduit for bringing the color and movement of the Bakkai back to life for this second styling.
