A self-directed costume design concept exploring how Chris Colfer’s The Land of Stories could be translated into a live-action fantasy world.
The Concept
For this conceptual adaptation, I approached The Land of Stories through the lens of a costume designer—imagining how the characters, environments and fantasy world of the book series could be translated for live action.
The collection explores how costume can communicate character, status and story while establishing a cohesive visual language for the world. Drawing from medieval silhouettes, fairytale iconography and contemporary fantasy, I developed each look to feel recognizable to the character while belonging to the same cinematic universe.
Queen Snow White
For Queen Snow White, I reimagined the character through a regal medieval-fantasy aesthetic.
Luxurious ivory fabric, fluid draping and refined detailing create a sense of softness and timeless elegance, while the silhouette reflects her status as Queen. Rather than recreating familiar interpretations of Snow White, the design explores how the character might evolve visually within the world of a live-action Land of Stories adaptation.
I developed the costume from initial character research and illustration through material selection and final garment construction.
