Inspiration

I decided to base the suit on my love of space. I grew up around Huntsville Alabama where the U.S Space & Rocket Center was located. And after constantly visiting the place I picked up an interest in the stars. The theme needed the perfect design to capture the grandiose beauty of “Space,” so I thought of a ringmaster-style tuxedo.

The Helix nebula that spans the back of the suit took quite a bit of time and was one of the larger "ideas" of the suit. Getting the transitions was very difficult but I think I pulled it off all right on my 3rd try.

The constellations were cut using a template and then applied randomly all over, while the gold trimming took some patience to get on just right.

The accessories include a hat, cane, pocket watch, shoes, rings, bow tie, and lots of love.

As you all can probably tell from the bags under my eyes this project stressed me out a little bit, but I'm thankful I got an excuse to branch off from a monotonous school year and make a duct tape suit. I had loads of fun trying to figure everything out and hope all the other competitors did too.

Thank you for reading all this garble and I hope you have a great day.
