Suit Sleuth
University Speculative Project 

Second-Year University Project | 1970s Psychological Thriller

​

As part of my second-year studies, I designed costumes for four male characters in a stage production of Suit Sleuth, a psychological thriller set in the 1970s with a dark, mysterious tone.

​

I developed a muted, vintage-inspired palette and conducted in-depth research into 1970s menswear—focusing on tailoring, fabric textures, and period-specific cuts—to craft distinct silhouettes for each character. The goal was to balance historical accuracy with visual storytelling.

​

Designing for the stage taught me the importance of shape, contrast, and visibility under theatrical lighting. I emphasized bold outlines, layered textures, and character-driven accessories to ensure that each costume communicated clearly to the audience, even from a distance.
