BA (Hons) Costume for Performance
Michelle Chong is a freelance costume designer, maker, costume props designer, stylist, and artist. Her expertise in film, musical performance, commercial advertising, dance, textiles, mens' bespoke, opera, and fashion design have given her a diverse skill set. She has had the pleasure of collaborating with dozens of innovative and award-winning designers and directors during the course of only four years in London. Her background in fine art with emphasis on figure study, 3D manipulation, fashion design, women and men's tailoring, pattern cutting and drafting and drawing inspire and inform her work which is always forward-thinking by embracing technology and a changing industry. Most of her work has a strong emphasis on character, and she strives to create memorable designs--often injected with a touch of the whimsical or with humour. Her crisp, tailored looks are inspired by the future of design, science, and black comedy. She combines unusual fabrics, found objects, and other materials to create a sharp silhouette with expert skill in a precision fit. In her free time, Michelle runs a small business making one-of-a-kind pieces mostly in latex and as a mens bespoke tailor. For the future, Michelle intends to remain London based, with dual American-British permits, and further her career in the film and television industry as a maker and designer.
