The Compliance

The Compliance was a collaborative superhero project set in a Marvel-inspired universe, reimagining Storm, Monica Rambeau and a female Luke Cage through Black culture, femininity and contemporary social issues. I designed and made the costume for Storm, including a corset constructed entirely from beads, elastic and chain to represent armour. I also experimented with pleating and draping, drawing inspiration from Maasai dress and the character's cultural background. I loved how this project pushed me to combine research, character design and some really unusual construction techniques.
