Tell us about this costume and what you were thinking.
Jules Stewart, the Director of K-11, told me I had to create costumes using only things that could be found within K-11 itself, so I was thinking I have 12 components to work with. I have to sew this with dental floss and dye it with soda and juice…AND make it look like it was conceived and produced within the dorm?? How do I make this outfit sexy, powerful, and represent Mousey without having to verbally explain her character’s checkered background?
Mousey is the Queen and pinnacle of the dorm society. No one in the dorm is allowed to upstage Mousey in their attire. I wanted to portray this power and separation with the most intricate, well fitting, and time-consuming outfits the dorm life has to offer. In order to be successful this design had to include harsh and powerful movement and all available colors (the fringe), coveted sparkle (chip bags and soda can pulls incorporated in the halter strap), and convey an overall shape befitting her heritage, gang affiliation, and sex appeal.
