Ladybird- Major Project

For Isobels degree piece she chose Greta Gerwigs academy nominated script 'Ladybird'. Setting the scene 20 years before the original screenplay in south Dublin, we find our Irish Ladybird. 1980s Dublin had a lot to feed into the themes of Ladybird that being social-class, adolescence, Home, money, parenthood and catholicism. The final piece consists of Ladybirds prom dress in which she has cut her own school uniform to make into a dress playing into the running narrative of her hating her school.
