Listening to 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)', the reference to Greek mythology echoes through its lyrics, 'Midas is King and he holds me so tight'. I want the artist's appearance to alter when she goes through to the other world, to use all these changes to challenge her. I therefore, looked at possiblities for her costume. It had to be far more complex than the other costumes as she was almost, always in the shot. Also keeping the idea that she is going through into another world and with the title of the song, 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)', I thought that another theme could be Alice in Wonderland. Therefore, I wish to merge these two themes of Greecian style with that of Alice from 'Alice in Wonderland'.
The top of the costume could be Grecian style, made of a white sheet, draped over one shoulder. The middle wrapped in gold coloured rope and ivy wrapped around the skirt-like part. This would emphasise the fantasy element of the garment. To give fulness to the dress, two petticoats would be placed underneath to give that childlike appearance that Alice has. The shoes would be simple as little black pumps, like that of Alice. The idea for the shoes also came from the image shown above, of the model wearing ballet pumps. It also creates this ease of movement within the forest, but with elegance.
