Desdemona: A Play About A Handkerchief

Written by Paula Vogel, it is an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Othello. The three female characters in the play, Desdemona, Emilia and Bianca, are three very vivid characters. So I want my design to emphasise their personalities. Since the concept settled for this production is a rock concert. I involved some rock and punk elements in my design. I designed each of them some metal and vinyl accessories. For Desdemona, I designed her a white babydoll-shaped plastic gown to represent her superior social status and make her stand out. Her inner garment follows a blue colour palette. For Emilia, since she is the servant, her costume is in the style of a uniform. I designed her a red colour palette costume. She has a representative plastic apron. For Bianca, her costume follows the yellow colour palette. Her costume looks like a collage of a man's shirt and other men's accessories that she collects from her clients.
