One of my favourite clients came in today to organise her Halloween weekend costume hire. What’s the costume party theme? “it’s… a Cave party! and that means…. animal skins and I want a bone in my hair!” As it happens, I have a drawer labeled “jungle” with lycra tiger .. so we emptied it on the bench…

If you need a costume or costume alterations, email me your ideas, and make and appointment! [email protected] Or…
Making a custom made costume This girl knew what she wanted. Firstly, she is a fast food fan, secondly, somehow she discovered the scene in the fabulous Science Fiction Movie “The 5th Element” where the cops pull into a McDonalds “drive thru” and order from girls in Jean Paul Gaultier designed uniforms. “That’s IT!” she realised,…

I made a number of these silver retro space girls for the Lynx Apollo Space Academy campaign. These dresses were used for filmed promotional material and for in store model appearances. Hand made here in Bondi, hot dresses straight off the press waiting for pick up. There was talk of space caps made in Lynx…
I bought some lovely fake fur recently and at $80 a metre it was not a purchase considered lightly. Reminiscing over jackets I used to make twenty years ago in the nineties, and again ten years later for a Burning man adventure, ten years on again, the fur obsession has taken a hold of me…
The wardrobe department couldn’t find a fur headpiece to fit the script, so they ordered a fur and some glass eyes, and sent the materials to my workshop. It was a strange experience. Normally I would use faux fur for my costumes. I had to straighten out the ears, one was squashed flat to the…
