Simmons BA in Production Studies Clemson University ‘13 MFA in Costume Design VCU 2016 Director: Toni-Leslie James, Associate Professor Head of Design/Tech, VCU Theatre Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia May 2016 Acknowledgements I first would like to thank my mother, Kimeco Livingston, for being not only an inspiration but also the best mother I could have asked for. To Toni-Leslie James for seeing the potential and believing that with the proper teaching and training that the talent within me would mature to something greater. To Neno Russell for continuing to challenge me with my knowledge of the craft, but also how to stay true to myself in the process. To Isabela Tavares De Melo for being my best friend, and so much more, I needed during my time at VCU. To Xiaolin Lan and Hannah Chalman for being understanding during what we all may consider the most difficult time in our education. To Tanya Boucicaut for the spiritual guidance I relied on from day to day. To Dr. Noreen Barnes for being a listening ear when I seemed unsure about educational decisions. To Bonnie McCoy for teaching me that it is perfectly fine to make painting mess ups; just do it once but not again! To Kendra Johnson, Shannon Roberts, Kerrie Brown Seymor, Matthew Leckenbusch and many more at Clemson University for igniting the fire within me which still burns today. Lastly I would like to thank my grandmother Helena Williams, my sister Shakirie Simmons, my little brother Raymond Simmons Jr. and the rest of my family for supporting me and being there to help with plane tickets, bus rides and much more; I would not have gotten through it without you all. I would also like to thank my father, Raymond Simmons Sr., who I lost in 1997; for teaching me in the few years we had together how to be a loving, respectable and a courageous human being. ii ©Devario D.

The document encompasses justification of decisions made through the researching and producing of period costumes for live performance and the challenges and obstacles faced to make seamless transitions during performance. viii Introduction I had the pleasure of designing In the Next Room for a paper project my first year in graduate school at VCU. The content of the play was interesting to me because it is a contemporary drama exploring female sexuality in the late Victorian era. The late Victorian era, with its proper and uptight society, seemed to be a foreign place for sexual themes of the play. After discovering and researching the period I was delighted to know that the situations and science of the play were a mostly accurate depiction of the treatment of women, which gave the play even more truth to the Victorian period than I had initially thought. Figure 1: Victorian Advertisement for Treatment. Having the opportunity to design a realized production of the play brought forth its own challenges, because I was now trying to develop

    Redefining Tied Neckwear moodboard 02 Defying Expectations of a Masculine “Relic” Libertie aims to display the appeal of tied neckwear through emphasisizing quality, personal application, and visual subtext. The final considerations for a consumer’s experience with Libertie products revolve around a strong preservation of the brand’s visual identity. At the same time however, care is taken to express a balance with neutrality where neccessary, allowing the product on display to speak for itself as a universal and transformative belief, simultaneously flashy yet disciplined. This strengthens the perception of the brand as a sincere curator of the fashion that seeks to promote the consumer’s personal enjoyment of the product. libertie process book identity development 03 libertie process book identity development 04 libertie process book identity development 05 1/3x x y y y libertie process book promotional graphics development 06 The Libertie promotional graphics help consumers visualize the different archetypes to brand is seeking to broach beyond the traditional professional male stereotype.

  • Clothing in France
    CLOTHING IN FRANCE For their day-to-day activities, the French, both in the countryside and the cities, wear modern Western-style clothing. Perhaps the most typical item of clothing associated with the French is the black beret. It is still worn by some men, particularly in rural areas. The French are renowned for fashion design. Coco Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent, Christian Dior, and Jean-Paul Gautier are all French fashion design houses whose creations are worn by people around the world. Traditional regional costumes are still worn at festivals and celebrations. In Alsace, women may be seen in white, lace-trimmed blouses and aprons decorated with colorful flowers. Women's costumes in Normandy include white, flared bonnets and dresses with wide, elbow-length sleeves. A traditional symbol of the region, the famous Alsatian headdress was abandoned after 1945. Today, this can only be admired during certain cultural and tourist events. Varying widely from one part of Alsace to another, the traditional costumes reflected the social standing and faith of their wearers. Consequently, Protestant women in the North would wear the colors of their choosing; where as Catholics from Kochersberg (to the northwest of Strasbourg) wore only ruby red. Some women would decorate the hems of their skirts with velvet ribbons. Others, particularly in the south, would wear printed cotton clothing, often made of silk for special occasions with paisley patterned designs. The aprons, worn everywhere throughout Alsace, were plain white. However, on Sundays it was not uncommon to see silk or satin aprons decorated with embroidery, and worn over skirts or dresses.
