The idea comes first and then I work on the research and preparation. I usually make the mood board from inspirational photographs and illustrations and then make my own sketches. In this particular project, I also worked on creating the set design.
I resourced the wooden panels and painted the sky with clouds on them, made the wooden windmill from garden fences and braided the hair headpieces. The important part was to find the team. I connected with the choreographer Jorge Antonio who cast the dancers and worked on the poses and movements. The stylist Medhini Kar then worked on finding sustainable young designers and included the ‘white collection’ from Central Saint Martins fashion design students which is all based on recycling and upcycling.
