Ferrari: Race to Immortality

FERRARI: RACE TO IMMORTALITY  (COSTUME DESIGN AND ART DIRECTING) • DIRECTED BY DARYL GOODRICH • PRODUCED  BY UNIVERSAL STUDIOS; ARTEMIS FILMS; DIMSON FILMS; DIGNITY FILM FINANCE.

The 1950's - the iconic Scuderia Ferrari battle to stay on top in one of the deadliest decades in motor racing history. Cars and drivers were pushed to their limits, and the competition for the world championship meant racing on a knife edge where one mistake could take a life. At the centre of it all was Enzo Ferrari, a towering figure in motor racing who was driven to win at any cost. Amidst the stiff competition within his Ferrari team, two of its British stars, Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn, put friendship first and the championship second. Ferrari: Race to Immortality tells the story of the loves and losses, triumphs and tragedy of Ferrari's most celebrated drivers in an era where they lived la dolce vita during the week and it was win or die on any given Sunday.

Battle of the Sexes

DOCUMENTARY FILM WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JAMES ERSKINE AND ZARA HAYES. NEW BLACK FILMS.

A documentary examining the 1973 Bobby Riggs-Billie Jean King tennis showdown spotlighting its importance on the women's movement.

I recreated 1970s iconic costumes for the tennis battle as well as the crowd.

The White Room

FEATURE FILM WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JAMES ERSKINE. NEW BLACK FILMS.

In a world fixated with knowing the future, Alberto is a Colombian migrant working in the City of London as a massage therapist. Quiet to the point of almost being diffident, Alberto mingles into multicultural London, a city he has come to for work so he can earn enough money to pay for his Mother back home in Columbia to have an operation. But London streets are paved with slabs not gold and Alberto soon finds himself in a hopeless vicious circle, meaning his stay in London is extended.

The deeply religious man becomes convinced that God has a divine destiny for him and he begins to see signs wherever he looks, even in people he massages. One day Jackie Jordan a ‘third-way’ politician visits the spa for a massage and Alberto sees a sign that changes his life forever.

Pantani: Accidental Death of a Cyclist

DOCUMENTARY FILM WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JAMES ERSKINE AND OLIVER PARSONS. NEW BLACK FILMS.

I designed costumes for all recreations and cycling peloton according to the period and year each race took place.

In 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, a titanic feat of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to millions, the saviour of cycling following the doping scandals which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap hotel room, from acute cocaine poisoning. He had been an addict for five years. This is the story of the tragic battles fought by the most important Italian cyclist of his generation; man versus mountain, athlete versus addiction, Marco Pantani versus himself.I recreated 1970s iconic costumes for the tennis battle as well as the crowd.

I designed 60s inspired costumes that represented iconic looks from the swinging era. All costumes required carefully study and work so that movement was not compromised, they also had to work for HD filming as the BBC was to broadcast the show.
