My millinery class has presented a couple of projects since i last shared photos, so this'll be a mishmash of excellent zaniness. They do a project involving wire-frame structures, and they do a project in which they create a hat/headdress with a historical or fantastical hairstyle for inspiration (basically, solving hair design issues with hatmaking techniques). So, here we go:

PRC Costume Technician Sam Kate Toney made this fantastic drag-inspired wig from foam and silk flowers.
And then i wore it to a Halloween party thrown by photographer Ryan A. S. Jones of Rytography,
which is why Sam got this fab "stage shot" of her project!

Undergraduate senior Alex Ruba made this Ariel-inspired mermaid wig from synthetic dreadlocks,
a buckram cap, and a bunch of actual tidewrack/seashells.

First-year grad Max Alenson Hilsabeck created this Medusa-inspired wig/headdress from tubular horsehair and rubber snakes, mounted on a Fosshape cap.

First-year grad Emily Plonski created this bugle-beaded headdress inspired by the hairstyle of Josephine Baker.

Second-year grad Katie Keener created this wire-frame reproduction of a 1910s lace-brim summer hat.

First-year grad Max Alenson Hilsabeck created this wire-frame tiara-inspired ballet headpiece.

Great work, ladies!
