Once the design had been finalised, (were talking meters and meters of hot pink chiffon, and yellow and black PVC hot pants with a huge headdress made of pink flowers) I went out to Shepard's Bush to get the fabrics.
When I was back Alex got to work on the patterns for the shorts and got them cut out of the fabric. The shorts reminded me of the of the caution tape which police use to put around crime scenes! They actually looked amazing because they were skin tight, high waisted and extremely short!
It was my job to start putting the hat together. To begin with me and Saskia painstakingly wrapped strips of PVC around the sprigs of pink flowers we would be using for the head piece. (It took two days! and they were the spins of flowers which we used in the previous Teppenyaki shoot which Alex wanted to get rid of).
Once they was done I bound 5 sprigs together into gaffer tape and hand sewed them onto the buckram hat Alex had previous made wrapped in the same leather that had been used to make GAGAS JACKET IN THE JUDAS VIDEO!!!!
The end result defined the word Trannylishious!
While I was making the headpiece Alex was creating the chiffon cloak which was made up of ten shoulder pads to create drama and 15 metres of gathered chiffon! More ruffles were added to the shoulders along with some electric blue feathers.
Ive gotta say the outfit will cause quite a stir at LoveBox. Here it is in its stages of being made.....
The Final Look will come very soon!!.....
