#20/20: Cupcake

Cupcake: A Design Signature

The Cupcake costume was originally created in 2010 for the first Circus Couture (CC) event. We were developing a new concept, and needed a grand, imaginative, and over-the-top design for promotional materials and media spots, and I came up with the Cupcake concept. This look evolved into many iterations over time, spawned my “Mini-Cupcakes” series (including the #19/20 Valentine look), and became my first “signature” costume look.

This first iteration of the Cupcake look involved an oversized pink wig, developed by Thomas Richards-Keyes, Meghann Mason, and Kelsey Contois Husch. I worked with model Karlee to balance the oversized proportions of the ensemble and developed a modular, multi-layered look.

The Cupcake ensemble consists of pink glitter shoes adorned with spikes, turquoise sequin legwarmers, aqua and pink thigh highs with ruffle and bow trim, pink sequin briefs, a pink and aqua satin striped corset with studs, spikes, and ribbon/ruffle trim, one long turquoise sequin and mesh glove with claw spikes, one short pink sequin glove with spikes and studs, a pink sequin collar with faux feather trim in pink/turquoise ombré and claw spikes, and bras in medium and light pink adorned with spikes on the shoulder and studs on the cup. The overskirt was made of 80 yards of tulle: light pink, dark pink, white, and turquoise, with a large bow. The skirt was removable for a runway reveal.

Cupcake’s Legacy

The Cupcake skirt and costume pieces were modified and used in subsequent photo shoots, including on location in the desert of Nevada. The Cupcake concept was reworked for the 10th anniversary show of Circus Couture, with an updated concept reflecting the inclusion of Cupcake Clown costume elements.  The Cupcake Clown costume was developed as part of the “Mini Cupcakes” series, and features a modular look appropriate for circus performance. The Cupcake Princess look is a revamped take on the original Cupcake skirt, with the turquoise layer removed and the addition of 40 more yards of pink and white tulle, with a hoop skirt worn underneath.

The Cupcake Mask

The Cupcake Mask is created on a base of heavyweight interfacing fused to pale pink cotton canvas. The mask upper has an overlayer of pink sequin fabric, and the beak is made of multiple layers of tulle, gathered and secured. The eye holes are edged in pink foldover elastic, and pink ruffle ribbon trim delineates the mask beak and upper. Light and dark pink sequin trim edges the upper edge of the mask, and a large turquoise sequin bow in tacked in place over the right eye as an asymmetrical embellishment. Studs in medium and large star shapes, round domes, and pyramid studs finish off the embellishments on the mask upper.

#19/20: Valentine

Valentine

The Valentine costume was created as an offshoot of the color scheme from the Cupcake (#20/20) look. Using pinks, whites, and creams as the color palette, this costume is designed as a burlesque ensemble including bloomers, a corset, halter top, cuffs, and robe. The look features graduated layers of flounces at the elbows, sheer fabrics, and an abundance of lace and bows.

The Valentine Mask

Following the aesthetics of the Valentine costume, this Plague Doctor styled mask consists of a metallic pink spandex overlaid with cream-colored lace with clear sequins on top. The mask base is neoprene. Layers of ruffles, lace, and pom pom line the edges and eyeholes of the mask.

#18/20 Part Two: The Bride

The Bride

In this second of the two-part Groom & Bride series, the Bride mask is featured, inspired by and using leftover materials from my wedding gown. I designed and created the gown as a modular ensemble of pieces, built around a corseted silhouette with removable trumpet flounce skirt and sleeves. The gown was built on a base of painted denim, lined in red rose and skull cotton print and with an overlayer of black net with cotton lace edging on top. The gown was embellished with over 2,000 hand-applied jet Swarovski crystals.

The Bride Mask

The Bride mask was created using materials left over from the wedding gown, built on top of a neoprene base. The bottom layer is painted denim, with an overlayer of the cotton lace embellished black mesh.  Jet rhinestones are individually glued on top of the lace, mimicking the detailing on the wedding gown.

#17/20 Part One: The Groom

The Groom

This two-part mask duo is comprised of The Groom and The Bride, representing the outfits my husband and I wore in our 2012 wedding. We both wore a solid black look, with color-coordinating accents in red (Groom’s side) and turquoise (Bride’s side). As a costume designer, it was a logical step for me to create some of the clothing and accessories worn by us and our wedding party, including my dress, embellished mini top hats for the bridesmaids, and my husband’s ascot. The ascot was made of a deep red dual-tone dupioni silk purchased in Los Angeles, and accented with a fleur-de-lis stick pin.

The Masks

The Groom Plague Doctor mask is accompanied by a daily wear mask. To best show off the luster of the fabric, it was decided to create a clean look with no embellishment, allowing for the deep red fabric to pull focus. The mask is built on a neoprene base, and the dupioni silk is backed with Fusi-knit for stability. The eye openings and mask edges are bias bound with the same fabric. The daily wear mask is made of a fused dupioni silk top layer with a painted denim lining, the fabric used for the base of my wedding dress. The edges are bias bound using scraps of the fabric remaining from the Plague Doctor mask.

#16/20 Queen of Hearts

Alice in Spamaland

In June 2008 I organized my first independent costume photo shoot, inspired by the characters of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. I had been working as a wardrobe attendant and technician for the Monty Python musical Spamalot, and was just starting to launch my career as a freelance costume designer.  I recruited cast and crew members from the show as my models, and spent months sewing costumes. See a partial group image below.

Mask Inspiration: Plague Doctor Queen of Hearts

The inspiration for the Plague Doctor styled Queen of Hearts and the complementing daily wear Hearts Court noble mask are directly inspired by and use fabrics from original looks in the photoshoot. The Queen of Hearts costume centered on a red corset embellished with a burgundy-red ombre application of buttons. This corset was later deconstructed, then finally cut apart and embellished with leftover buttons for this present mask design.

The Queen of Hearts mask features styling to include hearts in the overall design, from some of the buttons to the eye hole shape to the “Sweetheart” top edge.

Mask Inspiration: Daily Wear Hearts Court noble mask

The Daily Wear mask is designed to reflect a costume from a member of the Hearts Court, featuring diagonal stripes in silver and black metallic spandex. A burgundy metallic spandex heart is appliqued to the left cheek. The spandex layer is reinforced with a fusible interfacing, and the lining layer is a black cotton twill. The edges are bound in burgundy metallic spandex.

#13/20 Candy

Rave Kandi

Brightly colored plastic pony beads are used in the creation of “Kandi“, bracelets made and given to others in the rave community. These bracelets are traded as gifts at the discretion of the maker, and usually have a handshake involved symbols of the PLUR ethos underpinning the rave community: Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. My first elaborate piece of kandi gifted to me was at my first rave, and I recall being stunned as I had only a single strand to trade, and it felt flimsy and unequal at best. I protested, thinking my trade wasn’t “worth” the same, to which the person responded “It’s ok! I love all kandi!” She then proceeded to tell me about attending her first rave and being gifted a more elaborate kandi cuff (similar to my trade with her) and that it meant so much to her to be given such a piece that she continued the practice herself. I was so touched by her gift and the story that I made my own more elaborate cuffs (see below, right image) to trade with others. At my last event, I was delighted to find myself in the position of gifting a piece to a person at her first rave, hearing echoes of my own exchange. Whether simple or elaborate, kandi is usually made of plastic, brightly colored beads on stretch cording. Some are embellished with perler bead decorations, toys, flowers, and more.

Kandi was the influence for a costume made for a friend attending a music festival a few years ago, comprised of an embellished bra, skirt, shorts, and embellished epaulets. The technique used on the epaulets was reprised in the look of the Candy mask, trimmed with 4-strand round braid cording made from spandex fabric, strips cut from tee shirts, and cotton lacing.

Mask Composition

The mask was built on plastic canvas in neon green, hot pink, and turquoise. The embellishment of the canvas is a multi-stage process: buttons were attached first, followed by neon animal beads. These items are the largest in size, and were laid first to gauge the rest of the materials. Negative space was filled in with neon plastic pony beads, the same type used in making kandi bracelets. The final addition was neon yellow eyelash yarn stitched in between all of the beads. The texture of the eyelash yarn fills in the spaces between the beads, but must be treated after application. To do so, the yarn is stitched through the plastic canvas, which traps the eyelash yarn fibers that must then be picked free. This creates a fluffy texture that is trimmed down. After these steps, 4-strand round braids were used to finish the edges of the mask and the eye openings. An interesting byproduct of stitching on the beads and eyelash yarn is that it adds stability and body to the mask structure, boosting rigidity and making the mask more sturdy.

#11/20: Memory

On Memory

There is memory in the things we make – the materials for a specific project, the creation techniques,  the design of the object. In the evolution of an artistic practice over time, skill sets are learned and refined, leading from slow and methodical to adept and with speed.  Sewing is a practice-based, cumulative artistic skill whose outcomes from technique samples to completed projects contain memory for the maker.   I started sewing when I was young, but it wasn’t until a swimwear assignment in my undergraduate fashion education that I learned about stretch fabrics. I recall it being a daunting concept – we as a class were accustomed to working with wovens and the thought of using swimwear fabrics was intimidating, as they behave differently and require special kinds of construction techniques.  As soon as I worked through the trial and error of assembling my project, however, I was hooked. Spandex fabrics made sense to me immediately, and ultimately became the basis of my senior collection. I learned (through much trial and error) how to work with the fabrics and how they would move with the body. Shortly after graduation, I began working as a stitcher for a youth circus, building costumes for their summer tour.

The costumes I recall most vividly were those involving spandex, and I spent many hours appliqueing cut out shapes onto unitard bases. When fitting time came and we began to make necessary alterations, the scraps left over became artistic complements to our outfits, and we would wear cut off unitard hems on our arms as a sort of uniform, throwing on a little metallic spandex piece we called our bands of power.

These appliqued spandex scraps became a way for me to re-use textile waste into new forms, and I incorporated the technique over the years whenever I had some leftover scraps, evolving with my skill sets to create head bands, gloves, and garment pieces.

Bands of power

In the image above, I can identify fabrics from specific projects over the last 19 years, including metallic turquoise from my high school senior prom dress, tropical leaf print from the circus gig, solid spandex in red, orange, and ecru from my senior collection. It is clear to me now, reflecting back, that the technique has continued to inform my work over time as shown in the piecing technique of the SweetHeart mask (#7/20). To this day my favorite task in sewing is to applique spandex to spandex, something I find meditative due to its familiarity.

The Memory Mask

The Memory mask is created from armbands and a bikini top made about 15 years ago using solid colored scraps from my senior collection with a pop of metallic orange from the circus. The shapes affixed to the red spandex base are organic and overlapping, evoking the idea of flames or fire. The mask base is neoprene.

A red, orange, and yellow beaked maskA beaked mask in red, orange, and yellow.

The tactile sensation of interacting with these fabrics again after a long period of time in storage is surprising. Memories long dormant resurface – the frenzy of sewing my senior collection, the camaraderie of the costume trailer, the boost of joy from seeing a costume I sewed in use during the show. In this artistic mask representation, I revisit learning to sew stretch fabrics and marveling at the possibilities; the frustration of catching my fingers on straight pins; the pride at bringing 2-dimensional shapes into a 3-dimensional structure. It was surprising to me how meditative I found the development of this mask, like visiting with an old friend. There is memory in the things we make, the techniques we use to do it, and revisiting these objects as aesthetic pieces or records of skill can show us how far we’ve come while serving as inspiration for future work.

#8/20 CC Mask

Design for Philanthropy

As an artist, one of the most important ways I can use my designs is for the benefit of others. Over the years, I have costumed numerous philanthropic events and donated one-of-a-kind accessories to auctions for causes such as animal shelters, breast cancer awareness, pediatric cancer research, and most recently for the Actors Fund to benefit those impacted by the decimation of the entertainment industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Circus Couture (CC) is a philanthropic event raising funds to benefit the Cure 4 the Kids foundation in Las Vegas, NV. I was privileged to act as the Fashion Director for the first three years of the event, and in 2011 showed a collection as featured designer.  This line involved a number of models with performance backgrounds including acrobatics, dance, and capoeira,  and featured an adagio act. The CC mask is inspired by this featured line and symbolizes the nature of design for philanthropy.

Mask Composition

The fabrics and trim used in the CC mask were featured on the runway in a corseted playsuit ensemble, and were originally purchased in LA’s fabric district. The mask is designed with eyes that appear covered to the outside observer but still allow the wearer a modicum of visibility. The mask is built on a neoprene base and covered in a woven polyester print that was fused to a white cotton woven fabric for increased stability.

#4/20: Reaper

The Plague Doctor

Hundreds of years ago, an early specialized form of personal protective equipment (PPE) emerged. Historical records describe the garb of doctors tending to patients during plagues to include beaked masks, oilcloth cloaks and hats, glasses, and using staffs or canes (Townsend, 1965). This beaked figure has transformed into a symbol in itself, and is by and large the inspiration for the mask silhouettes in this exhibition.

The Reaper mask

The Plague Doctor silhouetted mask is shown here accompanied by a small hat with red contrast brim. The mask and hat are made using upcycled materials: leather jackets from thrift stores and neoprene from a waist belt. The mask’s neoprene base is shaped into the Plague Doctor beaked style with an overlay of black leather. The mask pieces were cut from different pieces of leather, salvaged from thrifted jackets, and assembled using a combination of hand and machine sewing techniques. The hat is created from the collar and cuffs of the mask’s source jacket, highlighting the stitching details of the original garment. Leather pieces were assembled into the hat shape and finished with a contrasting deep red leather brim lining. The original hats are depicted as having wider brims, which has been updated in the Reaper mask look.

#3/20: Dazzle/Razzle

What is Dazzle Camouflage?

The bold black and white stripes of the Dazzle/Razzle masks are inspired by dazzle camouflagea surface treatment used on battleships in World War I. The technique “dazzles” the eye, confusing the direction of travel due to the jarring stripes and shapes used in the painting (Kiger, 2019).

Design Inspiration

The Dazzle/Razzle masks are designed to complement a costume created in 2019 for attendance to the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas. The look of the costume was aesthetically influenced by the striking contrast striping of dazzle camouflage and the silhouette of a Victorian-era corset held in the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection, made in 1876. The silhouette of the corset used in the EDC look was exaggerated to dramatically expand the hips, accommodating for a removable ruffle skirt to be added to the inside of the corset. The black and white striping of the classic dazzle camouflage look was offset by the addition of fluorescent yellow contrast fabric, adding an interesting juxtaposition of visual aesthetics meant to simultaneously camouflage and call attention.

The Masks

Simple in design, these masks are intended to highlight the striking aesthetics of the dazzle camouflage look with minimal additional embellishment. The Plague Doctor styled mask is made of a neoprene base with an overlayer of printed stretch nylon fused to white canvas. The eye holes are bound in upcycled neon yellow high-vis safety tee shirt, and the bias binding around the face is high-vis safety fabric. The complementing daily wear face mask is created with a lining and binding of upcycled neon yellow high-vis safety tee shirt fabric, topped with a layer of printed nylon fused to black cotton twill. The modular fastenings of the mask are stretch cords of the same printed nylon and hot pink spandex for aesthetic effect. The mask can be tied behind the head and neck, or configured (as pictured) with stretch ear loops that can either be tied in place or fastened behind the neck. Finally, further inspired by the concept of visual camouflage, the plastic pony beads on the ends of the mask ties contain a secret: while the black and yellow beads are merely decorative, the white beads on the pink cording spell out the artist’s initials of J and L in morse code.

#2/20: Flamingo

Inspiration

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, little was known about face mask needs for the general public outside of general recommendations for wear. Disposable ‘surgical’ masks became scarce due to the need to prioritize supplies for healthcare workers, and people with sewing abilities were enlisted in the thousands to volunteer to make cloth face masks for family, friends, and strangers. Early guidelines recommended woven cotton to be used, and patterns could be found online and in resources like the New York Times, which featured detailed instructions to create pleated face masks.

Like many others with the necessary sewing skills, I created masks for family members and friends, and donated hundreds of cloth N95 mask covers to healthcare facilities in Las Vegas and Houston. These masks resulted in loads of scraps – in an effort towards sustainability the scraps were saved for a future project, which became part of the BeMask’d wearable art mask series.

The Flamingo

The Flamingo mask was created as a tribute to the volunteer stitchers who donated their time and materials to sew masks for other people in a critical time. The design follows the Plague Doctor silhouette, and is comprised of a stretch denim layer made from upcycled jean pants scraps, an outer layer of patchworked woven cotton scraps seamed together, and an inner layer of cotton quilt batting. The layers are hand stitched together with white basting stitches. The eye openings are a pink and white cotton gingham bias tape left over from homemade mask straps.

The patchworked fabrics were assembled as yardage, then cut to different mask pattern sizes. Remaining scraps were then seamed together to create new yardage, with each successive mask’s patchwork featuring smaller and smaller scraps until they were finished. There were enough scraps to create 3 additional face masks in a shaped style that is contoured to the face. These masks similarly are comprised of a stretch denim base with cotton quilt batting and patchworked scraps as the outermost layer.
