(Cappaccio,N.2019)

their own voice, with clarity and with heart and with truth."

(Drummond,K.2018.pg,221)
The production team created a whole new 'world' in which the show is set. making it more interesting and exciting for the audience as it is something completely new.
"It was my responsibility to create a culture, not just clothes."
(Hetrick,A.2018)
"That’s really at the heart of the play: the struggle between individuality and uniformity."
(Northern life.2018)
"I created a culture, so that I know how to develop what are ultimately the clothing ideas"
- Susan Hilferty 1.03 (Threadbanger.2008)
"The production features 350 stunning costumes"
(Northern life.2018)
She doesn't
just
design the costumes, she does so much more -
“In many ways, I consider myself a historian, a sociologist, and an art historian – in addition to all the other things that I do with clothes."
(Northern life.2018)
collected primary research from little girls and took this on board when choosing how to design Glinda.
"so I did research by asking little girls what goodness looks like. They said like a princess, like a bride."
(northern life.2018)
There are specific makers for specific characters/costumes in the show to ensure they look the same for every actor that plays the role.
The School Of Rock: Anna Louizos
"I guess the good thing about doing a musical that's based on something that people are familiar with, is there is a great deal of source material."
- 0.15 (Broadway.com.2015)
She's both the set and costume designer
couldn't spend as much time on both as she would have been able too if she just did 1
Does mean that both work together extremely well if designed by the same person
no contradictory aspects
Comfort for the actors
"Alex sweats like crazy...it's much more comfortable for him"
- 4.17 (Broadway.com.2015)
Shirts are made form cotton to keep him cool - good thing about out sourcing them
