Costume design by Ali Pretty for the South Korea Skirts for the the FIFA Club World Championships in Abu Dhabi, 2009.
Ali Pretty was commissioned to create a series of designs for the FIFA Club World Championships in Abu Dhabi. Working to the brief of director Stephen Powell, each costume is intended to represent nations playing in the competition. With each country having two skirt designs and one wing design.
This design is intended to represent South Korea, inspired by traditional South Korean patterns and colour. The skirt designs were sewn up and edged with a fiberglass rod, matching collars and headresses were created using the same process.
The project would see Kinetica paint 2,500 metres, with 25 East London Artists working for 5 weeks in London. The costumes would return to Kinetika after the championships and have toured to many carnivals in the UK.
