Well its Friday (TGIF) and I'm home early so I thought I would take the opportunity to update the ye old costume blog!

I just got the photos back a fab commercial we shot back in Jan for the new series coming onto UKGOLD in April called 'Henry IX'. Some of the photos are below.

It’s a comedy series about a fictional royal family of Merry England.

Charles Edwards is the lead playing Henry IX, Lovely man! We created a look similar to something he wore in the series that perhaps a king would wear at an offical Meet and Greet! We worked with Angels Costumiers on this. I love going into the depths of their store and pulling pieces, putting looks together. As you can imagine, its endless! Every era, every style! Wonderful!

We also had 2 x Royal Guards, 2 x Royal Advisors, 4 x Paparazzi and 4 FABULOUS, glamorous grannies who were extreme royalists. They were such fun costumes to create. I know some off the radar stores in London where I can get some rather wonderful twin set suits and accessories. I wanted it all to be in Pastel tones. We customized Hats to coordinate with the outfits. My head assistant is a milliner, so was handy to have to hand ;)

The location was beautiful - instagram artsy shot below! It was an old navel office her Tower Bridge.

Really lovely fun shoot! Here is a Link to the commercial - Click Here

Right.. I'm off to make Thai curry!
