Styling and Costume Design for a Stage Performance

Styling and Costume Design for a Stage Performance

“Well, we’ve reached the end of the course. I hope that through this experience you have found the confidence and tools to explore the costume design and styling world more deeply. We practiced the important tool of visually representing our ideas through mood boards and sketches, then made our ideas come to life by sourcing everything we needed to successfully run our fitting.

Although the focus for this course was specifically on styling and costume design for a performer on stage, you can apply these ideas in many different areas of styling and other creative ventures. Maybe you would like to apply these lessons to styling yourself if you are a performer or dancer. Perhaps you are more interested in applying this knowledge to styling a music video or photo shoot or personal project. Maybe you want to use these ideas to make yourself more extravagant for a night out at a party. However, you see fit! My path has been working with pop singers and dancers, but my dream is to design costumes for a ballet or opera someday. Where do you see yourself applying all of what you learned in this course? I encourage you to share your projects and write where you imagine using these tools. A final word of advice is to try your best to document your process and take photos along the way. It’s nice to look back and savor those experiences later. Also, try to enjoy all of the hard work involved in this process. It’s not always easy, but if you have fun while you do it you will enjoy your experiences and your life. Now you are ready to experiment on your own so it is time for me to say goodbye. I will be checking in on the forum and answering your questions, but please remember to be patient with me as I could be working with clients, but I will be sure to check in and find the time for you! I invite you to share your tips and the processes with your fellow students along with your final project. Thank you so much and bye for now!!!”
