For my final major project of my degree I created costumes for a Quentin Tarantino inspired Macbeth, by William Shakespeare. I set the production in 1920s London and reinvented the timeless characters, including the Three Witches and Lady Macbeth. These photographs depict my three final costumes, for Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and one of the Three Witches. As can be seen from the images, my costumes are very heavily informed by my embroidery specialism.

For Macbeth I wanted to give his costume an almost ‘Portrait of Dorian Gray’ feel, as during my design process I decided that the suit would break down as the character did. Therefore, Macbeth’s obsessive and murderous nature becomes apparent through the bones and muscles ripping through the suit fabric. For Lady Macbeth I wanted to create a similar spin on characterisation through the embroidery. Therefore I decided that I would create a dress that is very beautiful and glamorous on first inspection, but in actual fact is dangerous. I achieved this through using shards of glass, mirror and metal and safety pins, hooks and bearings - these then, from afar give the impression of beads and sequins.

The Witch is my favourite costume from the collection as I feel it portrays who I am as a designer and costume maker. My original idea for the Witch was that I wanted her connection and control of nature to be really apparent to the audience. Therefore, through the use of heavy embroidery on the sleeves, I gave the costume the illusion that it had grown up from the ground. The embroidery which is present on the sleeves and the hem of the skirt is created from a series of French Knots and lengths of handmade yarns, threads and lace. I wanted the embroidery to look moss-like, as if it have attached and grown on the fabric during the character’s any years walking through bogs and fields. For this costume I used over 900m worth of embroidery threads, yarns and trimmings!
