Flashion Back (to 1987)!

So I finally was asked to do the costuming for a local film project on a larger scale than what I’m used to. It will be a cast of about 40 people and I will be doing all the wardrobe designing. I’m really excited about the project and am looking forward to having another job where I can tell a story through design! I LOVE it and wish it was my full time job!!

The movie will be set in two years, 1987 and present time. This is especially fun for me because 1987 was the year I graduated from high school! We had our first meeting this week and I brought my yearbooks as inspiration (and a lot of laughs)! The best picture we found, a classmate wearing a midriff exposing, hacked off Nike t-shirt….on a guy!! The 1987 scene will mainly be shot in a dive bar so there should be shady characters all around.
