Boudicca Christmas tree installation at the V&A - Xmas 2007
Christmas tree installation for Boudicca
V&A Museum, Kensington, London
Boudicca is a London based fashion house, specialising in womenswear. As an honoured guest member of the Haute Couture, they regularly show at Haute Couture fashion week in Paris.
In 2007 Boudicca was invited to design the Christmas tree at the Victoria & Albert Museum, a highly respected privilege among British designers. The Boudicca team contacted gems studio with an unusual brief of highly intricate detail. Inspiration for the tree came from a morphing of images of victorian dolls, masks, robotics and Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Match Girl".
Shown left, is a detail shot of the face mask for the figure, which was made using a stock child's head and the features then altered slightly to fit the client's specification.
