Pop Ideologies Make The World Go 'Round

The lovely Christopher Cole Emailed me a few weeks back with some questions regarding the Monsterball dancers costumes I had designed. He wrote quite an interesting piece on them and his insight into my design approach was quite intriguing, especially to see how much people can read into simply the costume design, however these were never any old costumes they were of course Lady Gaga's dancers and with Gaga comes a whole narrative and character synopsis, even if you don't have time to process this consiously when you simply need to design and make everything under tight deadlines, the subconscious runs through.

In Camera: Lady Gaga - SHOWstudio part 2

Here are some screen grabs of Lady Gaga being interviewed by Alex Furry Fashion Director of SHOWstudio.com

I personally was fixed for the whole 2 hours of the interview perhaps this was something to do with Gaga perhaps it was my own personal connection to SHOWstudio and the live interviews that they have done. OR maybe it was simply the fact that the interview was completely raw and Gaga herself felt quite free talking about herself, which was quite refreshing. However we never really know what is fact and what is fiction. Well watch the interview and decide for yourself.

Rosie Knowles

Hi I'm Rosie Knowles currently interning for Alun Davies Studio, I am a 2nd year Theatre and Performance design student, studying at LIPA in Liverpool.

At the start of this week after getting a little lost I arrived at Alun Davies Studio. I was given my first task to buy fabric for Alun's costume project for Samuel Chase (singer). With my A-Z in one hand and my tube map in the other off I went on the first of many mini adventures around London. I returned successful and was presented with my next task of finishing off disco mirror covered cuffs for Lady Ga Ga's dancers. I thought this was most exciting because I find her so fascinating so to be actually working on something she will see was fun. I even got the chance to drop off her clothes. My friends were impressed when I told them that evening as it wasn't the average Monday.

The rest of this week I have been helping Alun finish off Samuel Chase's costume for his first performance at the ICA which took place yesterday night. Samuel's performances are based around audio visual effects interacting with his music, which are then projected onto him as he stands alone with his microphone. Alun's design was to create a collar which would have a major impact under the lights, so I have been gluing all sorts of sparkly crystals, broken glass, bondage straps, whistles, nails, door hinges, feathers to name just a few which appear on the piece.

Finally having covered the whole piece we proceeded to pack everything up and head over to the ICA. This is where Samuel was able to see the finishing touches we had done and also the addition of a smaller collar to go over the larger piece. I helped Alun attach the collar and then it was out front to see the performance. The piece really worked great under the lights considering how dark it is when all the other lights were out. I really enjoyed the different colours and Samuel's shadow which gave a very mysterious silhouette. After a lot of well deserved congratulations it was time to have a glass of wine and head home for bed.

Coming up next week I will be assisting Alun on MACHINE A fashion art installation which sounds very exciting so I look forward to telling you all about it!
