Project description
My self directed project was a reimagining of 'The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring' book, the first in the series by J. R.R Tolkien. With a focus on staying true to the descriptions and characters within its pages, I also chose to use 16th century silhouettes and garments as a base for my designs.
In an effort to prove that changing the gender and race of these well-known characters would not damage the story, several have been gender swapped or been redesigned with a different race in mind.
Due to the nature of screen costumes, there is a focus on detail and high quality fabrics in these designs. I also looked into Elizabethan Sumptuary Laws on colours and fabrics, ensuring that each design would be true to the class of the character
