In collaboration with the HSLU Music department, we spent six weeks designing and producing the costumes for the opera “The Turn of the Screw”.

Nina Bundi and I worked together on the costume for the Governess. The idea for the costume was to evolve throughout the play, reflecting the character's development. Our concept was to design a variety of individual pieces that could be removed or rearranged in different ways during the play.
We only worked with textiles from the second-hand shop and leftovers. The textiles we found were groundbreaking in terms of design, such as colors and shapes.
Together we designed a print, which we screen-printed in two versions, developed our own cutting patterns, sewed various pieces and knitted a poncho on the knitting machine.
