I haven’t a Stitch to Wear (Fashion Ideas for Performance)

5-Jun-17 By Simon Jay Leave a Comment

First things first. If you’re going to do a show based on your book, you’ve got to dress in something fabulous and sums up your aesthetic. The thing is, my natural dressage is lazy. I like to refer to it as shambolic chic. I often play other characters, so one has a costume and therefore I don’t have to worry about showing my natural persona. I have many choice sartorial pieces; from waistcoats, fedoras and earrings. But I don’t know what to wear, what would sum up the book?

A Rogues’ Gallery

Here are some examples of past costumes that perhaps could be the look I could recreate for Bastardography: The Play

Perhaps Chaplin is the way to go, I dressed like this for the Camberwell Cake Trail many moons ago.
Or a Zombie, albeit in a suit…
Semi-nude, again in a suit, ish, those pants a re gross
Love this dress, and hair!
cAESER?
sMOKING jacket
Memoirs of a Gay Geisha
Lucky Dip
Mrs Lady
Space-pants and gun

 

A List of Potentials

I’m fascinated by the clothes of Leigh Bowary, Pre-Raphaelite Dandies and Maggie Thatcher – but where is one going to knock something up of that ilk in two weeks? So I am going to throw out a list of ideas, if anything tickles your fancy let me know:

  • A dress made from undelivered (stolen) Conservative Candidate Leaflets
  • Nude
  • Jesus Christ Costume (White/Renaissance)
  • Colonel Gaddafi
  • A onesie
  • Fetish Freak outfit (Tom of Finlandesque)
  • A costume made from Anti-Depressant packets.
  • The Sixth Doctor Cosplay
  • Quentin Crisp-ish
  • Funeral Suit
  • The Pope
  • Starbucks Barista
  • Egg
  • Madonna circa 1998

I want to wear something comfortable, yet stylish, says something, is mesmeric; I think it’ll be something dressy definitely. I think I’ll just have to splurge in a charity shop or something. Perhaps a corset. I’ve never worn a corset, has anyone reading this ever worn one?
