During my fellowship with the Academy of Motion Pictures, I joined a team to costume design the short film, Estelle. The film is about a ghost of a previous tenant, Estelle, who comes to the aid of a young woman after going through several hardships; starring Ellen Greene.
I custom made Ellen’s jumpsuit, choosing a plum to compliment the set and fellow characters. To the left is the jumpsuit at the first fitting, and depicted above from the final product.
Two looks from a quick change scene, the left was an authentic 1970’s disco jumpsuit, which I sourced and added fabric to better fit. The right, is a Bjork replica I made from scratch.
