Costume Design

When Ryan Rathbun, came to me needing a “superhero” costume for a short film he was writing about a comic-book-obsessed kid looking for his proper ‘hero’ armor to fight against his bullies, I was all for it.

I drew inspiration from classic comic book supers and couture fashion like that of Comme Des Garcons to create a fun, bold hero costume that had sway and captured all of the final battle’s movements. While I styled the rest of the film’s costumes, developing this ‘hero image’ costume was the most formative (and fun to create) in developing the rest of our characters’ images.
