Eleanor Wilcock
The work shown is evidence of my final project a television adaptation of The Princess Bride. Inspired by the representation of gender roles within the entertainment industry, I used narrative and costume to explore the strong female figure, and the burden on male heroes to be stoic and strong. I examined society’s changing roles, mirroring the current revolutions in women and men’s fashion using modern aesthetics. My strong interest in historical dress and textiles and fabric manipulation is influential in my work. As I enjoy experimenting with new techniques, I took advantage of the time given to research and to learn from my outcomes. This creative process is something I hope to continue to develop in the future. I aim to pursue a career in costume making for screen, inspired by my enthusiasm for film and TV. Previous work experience completed on Infinite (2019) and The Batman (2020) has strengthened this ambition, with valuable knowledge gained that I am able use in my future work.
