The Saga Continues..........
Well I have officially went through a full year cycle here at No1 Costume Costume as it's Costume Designer. I have already went through the love and the pain being with them all this while. I am more confused, more than ever. I wished the best for the company.... but lately I am disappointed. I wished that promises were not just empty promises..... Maybe its just bad timing for me to bring up these issues. There is so much that I wanted to do but I could not. So many designs that I came up with that still sleeps in my files, untouched. So many dreams that I wanted to make into a reality but I could not as I did not have sufficient resources or authority to do so........... I know the management is busy so I decided to close an eye and wait patiently.
There so many collections of designs that I wanted to do up....especially the Star Wars Collection. From this Halloween season, after answering so many phonecalls, I received at least 10 minimum , of phonecalls asking about our Star wars Collection. I was a bit disappointed to reply to them that we only have a few characters and the rest are Jedi Robes. There is so much research that I did on Star Wars Characters be it in the movies , books or comics. It would be so interesting to come up with all the various characters like the Sith warriors. Their costumes are so intricate and interesting. Even the Jedis Have their own individuality in their costume. But my biggest dream is to create the Royal Wardrobe for Amidala. Since I can't do an exact replica, I would do a "similar looking" costume so that they cannot sue us over copyright issues.
The Collection I did for HSBC dinner and dance 2007 was quite an achievement but I am still not happy with it as the detailing was not intricate enough. After that "Secret Meeting"I am more determine than ever to show that as a Designer I can do theatrical costume of that are equivalent to those of the Phantom of the Opera. I have done such intricate costumes before for when I was freelancing, I know I can do it again........... I know I have the capability .. Its just that sometime Time is an issue and since not every client can afford to pay for such intricate costumes I forsee it will be a while before I can do it again..........
