when i am rendering costume design, i deliberately depict the face expressions of characters. often times, the mood of face features tells a lot of stories about the characters. in this rendering, i illustrated three major characters of the play and combined colors that could catch their frustration and dismal conditions.

Balzo, a headpiece

countess in All's Well that Ends Well






















In 2006 I participated in a USC SOT production, All's Well that Ends Well as an assistant costume designer, a draper,  and a milliner. this headpiece is a replica of an Italian Renaissance headpiece, balzo. From the scratch I built this headpiece and was really satisfied with the finished product. Especially the use of translucent fabric,  chosen by the costume designer, Julie Keen, resulted in outstanding stage effect.
