The Bloody Chamber - Conceptual Project

The Bloody Chamber - Bryony Lavery

Conceptual Project

This was a conceptual design project based on the play version of The Bloody Chamber.

The concept I pursued was 1930s France, with design themes of art deco and opulence, decided on after reading both the play and book versions.

Inspiration Board

An overall idea of the colour scheme and themes for my designing process.

Exploratory Costume Research

Developing Ideas

Costume Panorama

Testing how the designs work together, aiming to create a coherent aesthetic while keeping individual characteristics.

Final Designs

The characters of ‘The Girl,’ ‘The Wives’ were chosen to be developed further into rendered designs. These were done in two versions, one for their main costume and one for when the characters are in The Bloody Chamber.
