+CAN'T PERFORM NAKED+

The first time I've ever made clothes is a costume for my own dancing performance in Junior High. I know not so many people having a sense of drama to put in an outfit, but since I always love to steal attention so I guess costume designing is a match to be married with my imagination. In fact, most of fashion students,especially in my college, not really interested in costume designing. I personally don't know the obvious reasons, is it because of the complexity of the process or is it just because local urban ready to wear clothing line sounds more luxurious and modern than just doing a high risk garment making and just worn once for performances. I have Great GREAT enthusiasts in practicing fashion as an art which I believe Tom Ford won't agree with me, but who else will making an eye candy in movies and other performing arts?

I can never get enough praying just to be as successful and dedicated as these costume designers who's already brought Oscar trophies home.

Eiko Ishioka

This late madame from Japan is famously known as the costume designer of movies like "Mirror Mirror","Immortals",and "Bram Stoker's Dracula". It's so hard to believe that she made for all of my favorite movies I already mentioned. She was also dressed the ferocious "Grace Jones" whose no wonder keep making a crazy sensational shows with her outfit. Bjork's album Cocoon is also directed by her. Eiko is already passed away last January 2012 which makes me feel "Lacrymosa" to hear the obituary. 

In "Immortals" the costumes,properties and the COLORS are so oh extremely ah-mazing. The way she made the headpiece,helmets and even the accessories it looks seriously well developed from the ideas to the realization.

Colleen Atwood

Okay, this is the person who contributes a lot in my passion of fashion. I told you I start it from costumes and Colleen's creation in Tim Burton's movie is a seed of love inside my interest in costume. This 64 years old lady famously known making clothes for movies like "Alice In Wonderland","Sweeney Todd","Chicago","Memoirs of a Geisha", "Lemony Snicket" and "Snow White and The Huntsman"(ALL OF THEM ARE MY FAVORITE MOVIES). There's a strange opinion of mine who consider Colleen as Alexander McQueen of costumes.
