Illustrations
My go to costume illustrator and I reimagined and designed these costumes during the pandemic when our industry was shut down.
We treated it as if it were a real job and had numerous meetings discussing historical research, as well as costume concepts for each principal character. We also wanted to expand upon the fact that although Cruella is one of Disney’s well known villains, the root of her evil is that she idolizes all things fashion. We drew inspiration from 1950s fashion, Christian Dior, Mugler, the Harlem Renaissance, art work by Erté and sooo much more!
Our biggest inspiration was the ICONIC costumes in the 101 & 102 Dalmatians live action films designed by Anthony Powell. We were saddened his passing and we completed this project as a tribute to him and his legacy he left on the Costume Design industry.
