Historical Costume

From the rich history of fashion and dress, each 2BA student has to choose a historical figure with a costume typical for the period. They have to do thorough research, including the political, cultural and social structures of the time, as well as a detailed study of the fabrics, materials, patterns and shapes that are characteristic of the costume.

The students then spend the first two months recreating the costume down to the smallest details, including underwear, accessories, hairstyles and make-up. They also have to find a fitting model to whose proportions the costume will be custom-made.
