Dominique Lemieux II

Dominique Lemieux costumes made for the film Bogus

Cirque du Soleil

Canadian costume designer Dominique Lemieux will hopefully give some of you the inspiration that you need for fun and humour fashion creation. Look at her bright colour and simple, small changes to body form that make all the difference to the final silhouette. These costumes were all created for Cirque du Soleil.

This work is part of a series called "Weather System" by Jessica Bell.

Jessica uses found fabrics and creates collages with them to explore different themes and ideas.

The way Jessica Bell quilts fabrics together would be a good method to use to create a new fabric from old garments and then start again.
