The headpiece is a simple fur foam and fabric crown from disneyland you can buy in  tourist trap gift shop. I liked the potential of this soft and fluffy material as it is easy to stitch on miniature objects as a more secure option.

I wanted to create a little kitsch utopian vision of princessy heaven, like at the end of Disney movie when the prince take the princess to the castle n the white horse and then the golden book close itself.  I matched it with my poly pocket neckpiece adorned with many colourful & iridescent beads.  To much pink, unicorn, fluffyness, princessy stuff? I didn't wanted to dress as a princess but as the castle where dwell the princess. The headpiece is actually inspired by one of the heroes of my childhood, the prince of Motordu who wears a chapeau on his head instead of a chapeau (a castle instead of a hat).  why not wearing a castle rather than a simple hat?

For the Queen official birthday 13th of June, I did a performance at the Rosemary Branch theatre (check their shows online!) being the Birthday girl.

So I make this costume which is the allegory of the Birthday, with cake, ribbons, presents and glitters.  The idea came from a full sliced plastic that cake my Mum found at a car boot sale. I feel this item was too good not to deserve its own neckpiece, as when you put some pieces of cake upside down it create a perfect collar shape.

Then the whole outfit developed from this theme.  Actually some of the shoulder net were the raffle of the terrible twins for the Barbican Halloween ball,  a project also developed with the collective  Unattended items, everything is being recycled!
