Shi Dolor Costume Designs for Short Film

Hey all!

One of the projects that I worked on was costume designing for the short film 'Ghetto Fairytale'. 

A TRADITIONALLY narrated fairytale with a contemporary twist that cleverly combines spoken word comic rhymes with fast paced imagery. Set in Manor Park, East London, this dark comedy takes a look inside the fantastical mind of a modern day 'Princess'...

I designed the costume for the lead role of the princess in a few hours (my fastest work ever!lol). It turned out great as can be seen below worn by lead actress, director and writer of the original Ghetto Fairytale poem Francesca Marie. The colours used where Ivory with accents of red to not only coincide with traditional fairytale costumes but also give an edge when the costume is later converted in the movie to something more 'Ghetto looking'. I had to design the costume in a way where it could be taken apart and re-assembled into a totally different look.
