I had a wonderful time in research mode on this one. I’m not always this much of a costume dramaturg, but for a new work, and in a time period that feels sort of weirdly out of the comfort/research zone of a lot of more generalized fashion history books, it felt worthwhile to dive in with more fullness. Scroll down to see renderings as well as a “costume dramaturgy” packet that I prepared for the team on the first day of rehearsal.
