The art of costume design has been around since William Shakespeare hit the stage with wild tragedies and comedies.
As the writers told stories and the actors brought them to life, the costume designer faithfully tried to recreate the era that
the stories took place. Fashion and costume design share a historical thread. When clothing designers went for the retro look,
they were actually making costumes for people to have the look from yesteryear. When the costume designers were asked to bring
futuristic eras to life, they were the cutting edge of fashion yet to come (remember everyone wanting a Matrix outfit)?
From costume to fashion, the next step is wearable pieces of art, clothing that can set trends and give the population one of a kind fashion. As the costume designer steps into this realm, creative imagination comes to the forefront to give us the ability
to be ourselves and be a unique individual through what we wear. This designer brings us the man-tie-kini, now available at the wearable art page. Come in and browse.
