Castle in the Sky

For this fourth year project, I re-designed Hayao Miyazaki's beloved film, Castle in the Sky, as a stage adaptation, set in 1980s UK.

I experimented with rust dyed textiles, screen printing and embroidery to create a rich, textural backdrop to design from.

For my final year costume, I chose to make the costume for Louis, one of Dola's sons and a member of her pirate gang. This character is fun and quirky, drawing inspiration from both 1980's punk and utilitarian fashion.
