Ruth Hope



This is Ruth Hope's wonderful interpretation of Roald Dahl's 'Esio Trot',  Mrssilvers immaculate hand embellished gold velvet suit with applique, hand embroidery, and beadwork was stunning. Contrasting to perfection with Mr Hoppy's shambolic well loved patchwork dressing gown.  You can catch the show and see all of this amazing work close up at Edinburgh College of Art, Degree Show this week.

"Witches could be anywhere at any time and have the aim to rid the world of children and their characteristics; fuss, mess and other fun things creating a more ordered, clinical and controlled world. Taking inspiration from constructivist art and Advance Style Blogs an all female army has been formed to recreate the traditional witch stereotype. A minimalist symbol of recognition has been developed for a contemporary camouflage representing the witches aim of mass control and capture creating a netlike skeletal world map."




Other traits are the angular and pointed elements used within the costume design acting as strange limb-like appendages that can be used mid-performance when trying to camouflage themselves and a strong, bold colour pallet with tactile layers to lure the children in." Claudia Johns
