This article by Judith Bowden is slightly different. This specific article is a biography about her days of costume designing. I found this article very useful because it is coming straight from a reliable source who knows the ins and outs of costume designing.

She stated, in order for her to be a good collaborated and designer she had to read the script before hand to get an idea sketched out and think visually about and gets ideas such as pictures, poems, quotes, that could possibly benefit her and her creativity.

It’s all about the intricacy of the work, the quality of the workmanship. Every piece, beaded or lace is hand cut one by one.” Dinnigan’s clothing is characterised by the delicate, feminine and finely tailored designs which are draped with her signature luxurious fabrics of lace, tulle, chiffon and satin and exquisitely embellished with embroidery and beads. Her products are intended to be indicative of the female form, rather than exposing; hence achieving the sense of individuality, sensuality and most importantly confidence.

Her works have been displayed in numerous shows in the United States, and her art went through different stages over the years. At one point Jessica created a series of works titled Scrambled Porn.

  • The Role Of Fashion

    1024 Words  | 3 Pages

    . Fashion is a vibrant form of visual and material culture that plays an important role in social and cultural life. Viewed as homogenizing, Fashion encourages everyone to dress in a certain way, but simultaneously about a search for individuality and expression. In the Empire of Fashion, Gilles Lipovetsky argues that fashion played a significant role in modern democracy. In France, The Old Regime was the political and social system prior to the French Revolution. Under the regime, all rights and status were divided into three estates: the Clergy, the noble and third estate, which represented the majority of people. “Members of each estate wore clothing appropriate to that estate; the force of tradition prevented the confusion of status and the usurpation of privileges of dress. (30)” There

  • An Expository Insight Into The Field of Fashion using Bourdieu’s Concepts.

    1443 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fashion is an organisation of knowledge based on restricted access to goods and services. The fashion industry provides a functionalist perspective into Bourdieu’s field theory and the critical divisions reproduced therein. With reference to three cases studies, an expository insight into the field of fashion, particularly in terms of the participants within hierarchical boundaries, the culture required to join the field and the marks of distinction associated with clothing, will be empirically argued to further understand this macro-structural concept that exists within society. Ultimately, the usefulness of Bourdieu’s with regard to contemporary fashion will be shown.

    In the film Luhrman uses costume and makeup to portray characters’ personalities. Such as Shirley Hastings. Shirley’s costume and makeup shows the audience a great deal about her personality. Shirley always wears pink, puts ‘over the top’ makeup on and wears a lot of jewellery. This tells the audience that she is ‘over the top’ and maybe insecure about herself or her past. Liz Holt is another character whose personality could not have been portrayed if it wasn’t for the costume and makeup used. Liz is a drama queen and exaggerates everything including her costume and makeup. She nearly always wears yellow and also exaggerates her makeup with bright colours even when she’s not dancing.

Just like I made a red dress for “Red Dress Program” in UC Davis about the awareness of women’s heart diseases and heart care issues. (I will mention this project again in Entry 6.)
