THANK YOU Ziki!
You did notice that I devia...wow! THANK YOU Ziki! <br /><br />You did notice that I deviated from my usual rule of making wearables for both sexes. This is indeed an exception, but the reason is that these are (as exact as I can get them to be) replicas that were based upon El Lissitzky's costume proposals for the Futuristic Russian opera "Victory over the Sun." And I had a sense that I should abide by the names of the roles. So, if a character was called "New Man" or "Old Man" I felt that it would be appropriate to work with a male shape only. The only one of these that is not based on an El Lissitzky's costume drawing, are the "Mayakovsky girls" that sort of go with that inner room that I have over at the Russian sim. Those, I did invent, but again they too are based on El Lissitzky's work, in this case his famed collaboration with Mayakovsky that resulted in a book of concrete poetry called "For the Voice" :-)<br /><br />El Lissitzky's costumes drawings are here: <br />http://www.dataisnature.com/?p=1907<br />And images of the Mayakovsky book are here: <br />http://tinyurl.com/kjjshcf<br /><br />Again thank you!<br />Elif Ayiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113492369895704024noreply@blogger.com
