Who designed this costume?

[Cornelia]

Hi,

I am trying to locate the designer of this Koloron dress. Do you know who they are? The material can be painted on afterwards.

Regards

Cornelia

Sorry can't answer your question... Why don't you e-mail the website the picture came from koloron.com and ask them? They have an e-mail address on the contact page.

I can't help but feel that this Koloron Poster is more than just a bit Spammy.

A. They haven't introduced themselves.

B. Their first posting was purely a link to an U.K. based website that sells nothing but second party Koloron applications. BTW IMHO the website completely sucked as all the areas purporting to have information simply led to a catalog/buy now page.

C. The Material is not Theatrically freindly, unless you were doing a single show then throwing everything away.

D. You want to find out who designed a dress made out of a specific material? Contact the people whose website it's on don't try to generate hits by posting it on an only periphireally related site.

If I'm wrong shoot me. I'm betting I'm not. I smell a marketing ploy.........

Van, while I agree with you in sentiment, I think it's important to note a factual error. He or she has in-fact introduced him or her self, which was also their first post: http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=5175

Yes I missed that. They introduced themselves.

What I don't understand about this question (as someone that's never even contemplated touching a costume) is what's the significance of finding out the designer of a costume made of a specific material which has a questionable value in theatre? It just seems like you wouldn't get any helpful information in this situation.

Always the skeptic Van.

I guess when I think about it, it is a little fishy. Why come ask us who the designer is (a question no one around here is going to know, and even pro-costume designers are not all that likely to know) instead of contacting the website you got the photo from in the first place?

As for the product I see little use for it in theater... unless you wanted to do some weird show where the actor's clothes got painted on stage. Why not just buy fabric the color and style you want and make the costume like real designers do?

but you could give each person in the audience a brush with a different color.... and every night would be something new!...... ya, pretty much useless project, would be interesting for a 5 year old, not in the theatre, thats what dye shops are for.

OK is it just me or am i the only one who's first thought was..... you can paint any fabric?

ie. Canvas, cotton, pretty much any fabric you can think of you can put paint on.

I don't think this is the kind of buzz she was hoping to generate.
