Rich Metiku contortionist artist’s costume

Rich Metiku contortionist artist’s costume

Rich Metiku is a contortionist artist. We designed a jump-suit with white lace and lycra inlays. During the design period we listened carefully to the information she gave us about her act, and in terms of stage dress what could be annoying. We kept in mind what could be attractive for her, and what not.

The most difficult part of the preparation was to find the matching colour of the body net fabrics to her skin tone. As far as we could not find the proper colour, we colour painted white tull to her skin colour.

The dress was set up of white lycra, lace and skin coloured tull. Afterwards blue gradation was painted with airbrush technique, and the dress got the Swarovski rhinestone decoration.

Flying Farfans Flying Trapeze – Costume

Flying Farfans Flying Trapeze – Costume

The costume designing and preparation for the trapeze group was a real success. We prepared 9 costumes with 14000 Swarovski rhinestones.

During the designing we asked the group what could be annoying at the act. For the boys anything could have been annoying during the show on their legs. For the girls we could design for the whole body. The final suggestion was a gradation coloured dress: for the full body of the girls, and for the upper part for the boys.

It was important to find strong lycra for the trousers and paintable lyra for the collar part. The dresses were made of white lycra, and airbrush painted with 3D shadows – which was a big challenge for our painter.

The costumes were very successful and got good feedback on 2016 International Circus Festival in Budapest, where the Flying Farfans got the silver trophy in their CDP costumes.

Circus Costume for René Caselly Junior

Circus Costume for René Caselly Junior

René’s request for his brand new costume was to prepare a brown costume in Africa style, looking modern and unique. We were working diligently on designing and preparing a costume which fits to his body, style and movements. It was important to know what kind of acrobatic elements he makes in his performance, because we had to keep in mind these facts during the designing and preparation.

Firstly we prepared the design on sketches. We work on the drawings as long as the customer finds it perfect.

René’s costume is consisting of trousers and tulle upper part on which golden trails and leaves are going around. He asked for a white half-long jacket, what we designed with standing collar and opened style. We suggested to use the same type of trails on the jacket as on trousers.

Having agreed on the design we ordered the fabrics mainly from Chrisanne, England. It was very important to get high quality fabrics which resist the extreme usage.

At first our tailor prepared the trousers, the upper part and the jacket. Afterwards our dressmaker prepared the decoration – she fixed the trails and leaves on. The next step was to finish the sewing by the tailor.

As the sewing part of the preparation finished, airbrush painting followed. We added shadows to the trail decoration with painting, which gives a spectacular 3D effect. We fixed the painting with ironing.

The last step was the decoration with Swarovski Crystals of what we used 6000 pieces for this elite and For the trails we mixed 3 different kinds of gold to make the brillance unique. For the jacket we used plain crystals spotted all over and the collar totally covered.

The final look is brilliant and all 6 members of the CDP Team is very proud of it!

The CDP Team is proud René Caselly Junior who won the Gold Medal of 2016 Monte Carlo Junior Festival in his CDP costume. And we are even more happy that he got his Golden Medal from Princess Stephanie in this costume!

René was so much satisfied with our common work that he insists on working again with us. René, thank you for your trust and we wish you great success!
