Passing through Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), a few weeks ago, Caroline denglos, better known by her artist name, Corneline, took the opportunity to draw inspiration from a world famous monument.
When entering the Notre-Dame de Chartres cathedralCorneline didn’t think she had so much inspiration. “I had already visited the cathedral a few years ago, but I did not have the same sensitivity”, explains the young costume designer, who lives in Mantes la Jolie, in the Yvelines.
She says: “When I arrived under the rose window, it was first the blue that appealed to me”.
“Such a blue cannot be used lightly”
The professional costume designer usually works with warm tones. “It’s a lapis blue, electric, with light and energy,” Corneline remembers.
This color reminds her of a piece of silk that she has in stock, in his workshop in Yvelines, “I didn’t know what to do with it, such a blue cannot be used lightly”.
She continues: “I really like round and solar patterns like this rose window. I told myself that I could try to recreate this mystical mixture ”. The artist chooses a belt model, eight hours of work later, That’s it !
Graduated since 2015 of a DMA Costume designer-director, the young woman has always been passionate about the show.
“At six years old, I was fascinated by the photographs in theater books, I tried to guess the story and the characters by looking at their costumes and their attitudes”.
A tailor-made costume designer
Caroline then feeds her imagination thanks to the fantastic pop culture : from Lord of the Rings to The Legend of Zelda… His taste for cosplay (character costume) takes shape. “I like to recreate my favorite characters from A to Z”.
