WEARABLE ART

Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama

Wearable Art is a sustainable costume project at RWCMD finishing in an avant-garde catwalk show highlighted with dance, light and music. The brief for this year was “Underwater Love”. My costume was made from all recycled and scrap materials to. My concept was an oyster with the focus of the design being the shell headpiece revealing the pearl within (me) during the movement.
