Slam

A colour-coded cast in hand-dyed suits, for a high-energy live dance show at Global Village, Dubai.

How it was done

What the job involved, from first brief to show-ready.

01
Sourcing
Sourced 11 suits from Guess in 100% polyester, chosen because it doesn’t wrinkle, so the suits stay sharp show after show.
02
Hand-dyeing
Hand-dyed each suit with synthetic dyes, brought up to boiling point and kept moving throughout so the colour took evenly, with no patches or marks.
03
Fittings
Fitted all 11 performers: hemming, taking in at the waist, shortening cuffs and blazers, and making alterations that allow for better movement.
04
Tech
Once everything was fitted, we teched the full production, checking every costume under lights and through every routine.
