Jacques and his Master

This photograph details the model box for the design of Milan Kundera's Jacques and his Master.

Jacques and his Master

I used collage here to suggest the unreality of the world for these characters. Also, the mirrors on this design suggested the vanity of the character.

Mac the Knife wore this pinstripe suit. The interesting design detail was that the lining suggested his evil, murderous nature.....with his name surrounded with blood stains.

The director featured this element in the choreography of the scene. It was a simple device , but it was quite unsettling for the audience when the lining was revealed.

This image is of the final design for Jenny. She wore a black gaberdine coat over her red dress.

This was for the scene with Mac in the street when she sings the "Pirate Jenny" number.

I deliberately designed the shirts to be super vibrant. This style suited the "musical" element of the production and was clearly influenced by the heightened reality of the German Expressionist artists that I had seen.

This design was inspired by an Otto Dix painting.

The dress is made of satin backed crepe and scattered with sequins.

These amazing suits were made by the 2nd year Costume for Screen and Stage students at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth.

The design was influenced by a exhibition that I went to in New York called Glitter and Doom. The exhibition concerned itself with the art of the Weimar republic and German Expressionism.
