  8. operafantomet:

    The big ego boost… Some of my favourites amongst the costumes I’ve made. A big chunk of them is based on Maria Bjørnson’s costumes from Phantom of the Opera, the others on Italian 16th century portraits and patterns. I usually wear beige and grey in real life, maybe that’s why I love bold colours and immense amounts of decorations for my costumes…
