Like fashion, costume designing is driven by passion, defined by precision and is an act of love.I believe that costume design works much like fashion, but adds its more about the character and mood than the look of the final piece.I work from a position that costume design is about finding what is right for the character or performer and what fits conceptually within the framework of the piece. A costume isnt just about looking good.I prefer textural fabrics those with the right amount of drape and weight. Love looking at older fabrics and also to use existing clothing, which I deconstruct and reinvent. I love old clothes because of the sense of history they embody and the stories they tell.Costume design is about visually helping move a story along, while fashion is based on the desire of the fashion designer to create an image that stands alone. My dresses are inspired by adventurours, but femenine women, that traveled, studyed and fell in love :)))Ephemera was created to dream.Soon Ill present a neo baroque bags collection in RL (to fit with jeans or more sophisticated clothes). Available on Flickr.Here, some brief words for those that enjoy wearing Ephemera , like Tatiana :))

It's true! I do love wearing Ephemera as you can see in my profile pic :))I was introduced to Ephe's wonderful work by my sister Skye. Now this has caused a bit of a problem as the likelyhood of the two of us showing up to an event wearing the same outfit is now considerably higher - lol.I do find myself just waiting for the next event to come along, whether it's a grand ball or a quiet tea party, just so that I have an excuse to buy another of Ephe's creations. Seems to me, the last dress I bought was because I had a rl cold and needed something to make me feel better.Thanks for all the fun, Ephe!
