I have been thinking for a while now about how I can combine my love of fashion and costume with festivals, without necessarily going down the costume for performance route (although that is still something I would be very interested in). I love designing spectacles and costumes and helping style people to get ready for specific themed events - as you can see in my works this year with the PFP Tesla event and the Pirate Ball - and I think this is a career path that would work perfectly with my love of festivals. I have seen converted vans and horse boxes which have a range of vintage and costume clothing inside that sellers take round festivals and events, but if I was to do this I would not only have found costumes and clothing I would also have my own costumes for sale too.
^^ One of the main issues of festival work is that it is purely seasonal but having a mobile business like this that is weatherproof means that sellers can do the summer festival circuit but also other events off season.
I think there is a lack of costume and dressing up shops in Norwich, the only two being Beaujangles which sells a small selection of pre-designed costumes as well as lots of accessories , and Costume World, which is on a business park nearer the outskirts of the city. So, perhaps there is a market for another dressing up box of this nature??
