Kristina Soogard’s Winning Entry
Hilary Alexander OBE, President of Graduate Fashion Foundation and competition judge said of the winning submission, “An exceptionally good mood board; research based on RSC productions of The Tempest in both 1946 and 2016, with reference to contemporary designers such as McQueen, who often referenced Elizabethan themes. Hence, the emphasis on the cuffs, collar and corsets. The concept for the design focusses on the other-worldy, fairy-tale, and magical themes of the play.”
