OISTAT Costume Design Group hosts Research Symposium 1: Revisiting Historical Costume: Visit to Fashion Museum, Bath and Symposium
Mon 9 Sept 8.30 meet in the RWCMD foyer RWCMD Main Foyer
Contributors: John Bright, Sabine Snijders
Chair: Matteo Augello
Revisiting the historical in costume is a practice with many boundaries: the judgments of the creative output of designers are not only based on standard criteria, but also scrutinized in order to assess historical accuracy, which designers are expect to fulfil. John Bright, acclaimed costume designer for theatre and film and founder of Cosprop, one of the world’s leading companies specialised in the hire and making-to-hire of historical costume, and Sabine Snijders, Dutch costume designer who has extensively created costumes for plays and television in a unique post-modern style, discussed their careers and modus operandi with Matteo Augello.
All day visit 09.00 to 19.00
£ 50 per person including museum entry, symposium, 3 course lunch, refreshments and all travel.
