Revolution through costume

This project explores costume design for Les Misérables through a sustainability-focused approach. Instead of designing entirely new garments, the assignment focused on reimagining existing costume stock using color, pattern, and surface treatments such as fabric painting and dyeing.

For each character, three design options were created to explore different visual directions while working within the limitations of available pieces. Each version experiments with different palettes, textures, and decorative elements to transform the garments while still supporting the historical world of the show. The process highlights how creative design choices can refresh existing costumes and support more sustainable theatre practices.
