Both clown costumes started with fabric, not a pattern — but they come from two completely different points in time.
The two-piece suit is actually one I made years ago, back when Tencel (a sustainable fabric made from wood) was virtually unknown and I was hunting for a sustainable alternative to polyester satin. I never got around to photographing it properly until now. What stuck me most at the photoshoot was seeing how comfortable the kids were in it — that flowy, soft movement that Tencel gives you, almost like silk. Plus, a classic silhouette, kept simple in primary colors, so the fabric could do the work.
The romper suit is also based on a previous design. But I will offer it in sizes up to 5 years rather than just the baby sizes. And the print is bespoke: a white base with the legs featuring a classic harlequin pattern — repeating two-colour diamonds in a modern colour combination. Pure cotton, made for the smallest performers (ages 2–5).
Two very different eras of my own work, but both built on the same idea: classic designs are the real essence of a sustainable costume. The kind your grandkids can pull out of the box one day and still want to wear.
