BA (Hons) Costume for Performance
Michelle Chong is a freelance costume designer, supervisor, maker, art director and producer. Her expertise in film, musical performance, commercial advertising, dance, textiles, mens' bespoke, opera, and fashion design have given her a diverse skill set. She has had the pleasure of assisting innovative and award-winning designers and directors such as Will Tuckett, Nicky Gillibrand, Michael vale and YDA Cannes winner Karen Cunningham. Her background in fine art with emphasis on figure study, 3D manipulation, fashion design, women and men's tailoring, pattern cutting and drafting and drawing inspire and inform her work which is always forward-thinking by embracing technology and a changing industry. Most of her work has a strong emphasis on character, and she strives to create memorable designs--often injected with a touch of the whimsical or with humour. Her crisp, tailored looks are inspired by the future of design, science, and black comedy. When combined with her use of unusual fabrics to create a sharp silhouette with an expert skill in cutting, her work often becomes a varied and innovative creation.
