The Witchiest Witch That Ever Was


I just came across this article about a recent art exhibition in San Francisco called "Toil & Trouble" at Space Gallery on Polk Street. The exhibition was put on in tribute to and in collaboration with a recent film titled, Story About a Witch. Among the various artistic portrayals of aspects of the film, the costume for the witch caught my eye. This amazing costume was a collaboration between two wonderful artists, a special effects expert named, Jared Guenther and a costume/clothing designer named Laura Grant. As stunning and realistic as this costume is it was the tip of the iceberg. The exhibition also featured the photography of Sungjib Kim, who took beautiful still shots from the set of the film.


Another one of Lara Grant's costume designs for the movie.

Crazy and magical.
