Vera Kutten has created her own interpretation of a costume to be worn by the actor playing Mushu from the animated version of Mulan. B
Chenul Warnasooriya picked a marvel favourite, ‘Dr Strange’ and plans to recreate the precious time stone.
Poppie Harris chose the recent heartwarming family film ‘Luca’ and designed a beautiful transforming dress to reflective the character’s abilities.
Ema Guga picked and investigated two films, Spider-Man and Mission Impossible, before selecting and drawing up plans to make an elegant evening gown, to be worn by a decoy character.
