On the Razzle Fashion Research Project Marina Nebro Drama 111 – Introduction to Theatre Design
Design for Gogol’s Play: The MarriageMarc Chagallhttp://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/artsandculture/2012/10/02/marc-chagall-at-the-ncma/ Copy and paste link to read about why I picked this painting.
Christopher/Weinberl • Romantic, slicked back hair – youthful • Writing at a desk – “Weinberl… is writing a letter at the counter” • Plaid bowtie plays along plaid obsession throughout play
Christopher/Weinberl • Contrast between jacket and pants - youthful
Christopher/Weinberl • Ornamented socks – flashy • Might peak through occasionaly • Might add color
Christopher/Weinberl • Wool coat for evening
Christopher/Weinberl • A view of vest – patterned • Alternate neck wear – cravat • Tousled hair – very romantic
Frau Fischer • Possible hair style • Not flashy, very mature
Frau Fischer • Modest bonnet for widow • Lace – very Victorian! • Bows would be plaid
Frau Fischer • Cut and color are more mature – suitable for a widow • Afternoon/visiting dress to Madame Knorrs
Frau Fischer • Intricate trim • Possibly add plaid ornamentation
Frau Fischer • Cut and style of cape • Would have plaid pattern • See color palette for colors of tartan
Frau Fischer • Evening dress – mature/suitable for a widow • Plaid textile – see color palette
Frau Fischer • Evening shoes • Black – muted color similar to color scheme
Frau Fischer • Parasol – added accessory • Paisley and plaid pattern • Also see color palette
Zangler • Seems like an older man • Forgetful, silly • Hair style • Inspiration for casting
Zangler • Military-style uniform • Would be snug – see text • Blue would be a little brighter – a little sillier
Zangler • To add humor, maybe Zangler should be a little more plump • See pulling in buttons
Zangler • Bright and flashy vest for evening • Buttons could be gold/yellow – more flash
Scottish Couple • See previous slide • Younger couple – first time in Vienna • Man will have mutton chops/facial hair – more Highland looking • Woman will have different style bonnet/hair piece than those in Vienna (see Frau Fischer’s)
Scottish Couple • Obnoxious plaid dres • See tartan pattern/color palette • Would be evening dress (cut off sleeves, lower front)
Scottish Couple • Wool muff/collar • Harkens to the Highlands • Bow closing collar – tartan pattern
Scottish Couple • Youthful slippers • Instead of white/cream – tartan pattern • OBNOXIOUS PLAID!
Scottish Couple • Underneath collar • Again, plaid • Highlands are cold – layers!
Scottish Couple • Color palette tartan • A little more fancy for nighttime wear – bigger buttons, gilded trim
Scottish Couple • See central figure • Bulky, large, intimidating • Size and stature of Scottish man
Coachman • Fancy coach • Yellow would turn to plaid!
Coachman • Not a fancy coachman • Not used to fancy coach • See next slide – usual carriage
Coachman • The coachman’s usual coach • Explains personality
Coachman • Simple costume • Tophat – promotion (see next slide)
Coachman • See different hat – bowler hat • Transition from lesser coach to a coach for Zangler& friends
Waiter • See apron • Differentiates between waiter and diners
Waiter • Simple costume – connotes lower status • Possibly not suitable for Imperial Gardens though
Waiter • Italian waiters • Romantic flair – hair • Simple black/white costume
Waiter • Better view of costume • Crisp, clean
Vienna Cityscape • Stone structures strong in stability yet soft in aesthetic • Light colors allow for pop in dark as well as bright/silly costumes
Zangler’s Grocer Shop • An outside view • Similarly matches the Vienna Cityscape • Shop on the left
Zangler’s Grocer Shop • Image of scales, weights • Close up view of behind the counter
