This project is based around a book called 'Selling Out' by Justina Robson, it’s an old favourite of mine. It features many fantasy characters such as demons, fairies and the like, but I wanted to make it into a Science fiction. The clothes are all based around biotechnology ideas where the wearer and clothes are symbiotic. The character (above) is a demon called Madame des Loupes, she is described as birdlike in the book and is supposed to be clairvoyant. I decided to use elements of the eye to make her costume, the body suit is an iris print, the cape: veins and connective tissue while the beak and collar are inspired by blood vessels. Katey Powell
