\"\"student: <\/strong>kelley hines
\ncourse:<\/strong> thtr 216
\nproject: <\/strong>designing for marie antoinette
\nfaculty sponsor: <\/strong>dr. alexandra sargent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

in the poster session of the celebration of learning in alumni hall on april 21st<\/sup>, 2014, kelley hines<\/strong> presented her project \u201cdesigning for marie antoinette\u201d for theater 216 \u201cthe history of fashion: sex and propaganda\u201d taught by dr. alexandra sargent.<\/p>\n

a graduating double major (theater and anthropology) in the college of arts and science, hines\u2019s topic spoke to both her interest in theatrical costume design and the significance of fashion as a political and cultural statement. hines chose marie antoinette for her historical figure because she finds that research on antoinette\u2019s influence as a fashion icon does not consider the political elements of her fashion choices.<\/p>\n

in her project, hines imagined three designs for outfits that marie antoinette might have worn had she traveled around the world. the first location is the french antilles, a caribbean territory that was a colony of france during the late eighteenth century. the second location is russia, an emerging european power, and the final choice was a hypothetical trip to the far east. for each location, hines sketched a detailed ensemble including antoinette\u2019s signature tall hair and wide panniers, and included details that would emphasize the queen\u2019s connection to the region she was visiting.<\/p>\n

colorful swatches of fabric and trim hinted at the final vision of hines\u2019s costumes. to illustrate the results from similar sketches, hines brought a sketch and a costume she had designed from a production of twelfth night<\/em> performed last year at vanderbilt. with prof. sargent\u2019s guidance, hines pursued both historical and creative research to develop her project. hines met in multiple one-on-one sessions with her teacher at various points in the project. dr. argent also offers a sewing workshop early in the semester, so that students have a chance to develop basic sewing skills.<\/p>\n

hines appreciated the chance to take a class that opens up the possibility of creating a final project so unlike projects in other classes, one that could even end up with the tangible product of a completed outfit.<\/p>\n
