CDG - The Costume Designer

Stac Ellen ich Metalist midnightmetalist stacellenrich.com Costume designer, CDG member, and contrib utor to this magazine, Stac Ellen ich as alas into underground fashion and art. As a ild teenager, she as dran to metalork, eelr fabrication, and lost a casting via a high school class. At the time, her orks ent on ehibition and inuiries for urchase ere made, an imressive feat for a teenager. Alas, ichs rebellious attitude thought it as a sell out move and escheed the reuests. After high school, she took her love of art abroad to stud metal ork, art histor, and histor of o era in lorence, Ital. Soon after her return to the states, she caught the costume design bug and eelr design faded aa. In 201, ich began to uestion h she ever abandoned metal ork. A grand 29 ears had assed and she still had all of the orks she created as that missent outh. There as no time like the resent so she lunged right back into classes to see if she still had the hand. It as as if no time had assed. er ne ork as merel building uon that rst collection. ichs ieces echo 0s Brutalist art, udaica, relics, Egtian iconograh, and the e omantics. She channels funda mental methods and creates her on, carving in a ith a variet of imlements, though her eaon of choice is an Eacto knife. The Ankh Biou necklace and Brutalista ring are her criterion ieces. On smbiotic notes, she loves bronze and coer, both antimicrobial in nature. The ankh reresents life and denotes the hieroglh for coer. This knoledge strikes ich to the core in these andemic das.
