COSTUME DESIGN -THE LAST
KNISLINGE, SWEDEN 2022-2023
I was invited in November 2022 to design and fabricate the costumes for The Last. I reworked the silhouettes of tracksuits, hand embroidered text specific to each dancer and added vintage handmade textile pieces I sourced in Skåne. The materials used are almost entirely from secondhand shops in the region. I’m deeply thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this and to everyone involved - thank you for your trust.
…
I consider each garment a collaboration between myself and the dancers, MARC, Skåne as a region,
as well as the region’s artisans of the past.
Each stitch is a knot holding time and memory together.
