NYE at Atlantis The Palm ✨
Countless costumes, long hours, tired hands—and a heart full of gratitude.
As the year closes, I’m reminded that magic is built quietly behind the scenes, stitch by stitch, long before the lights come on.
Watching ideas turn into movement, sparkle, and life on such a grand stage is a reminder of why I do what I do.
Ending the year exhausted, proud, and deeply thankful 🤍

Great end to 2025 ❤️🫶 taken in Atlantis, The Palm by @sandhya_costume

Reimagining and reinterpreting the spirit of 1960s jazz through vintage silhouettes, texture, character, and movement

Costume design for ‘Cost of Luck’ choreography by @bethfittx performed by 2nd year University of Sharjah Performing Arts students @uasharjah
🎭

Every piece was created to feel expressive, alive, and deeply connected to the personalities on stage — a world of rhythm, nostalgia, elegance, and beautiful chaos.

Grateful to work with such talented performers and creatives ❤️.

Created for Bluewaters Island @bluewatersdubai festive campaign — Find Your Glow — these silver living-statue costumes were designed to light up the night in neon pink and electric blue, turning performers into glowing futuristic sculptures.

Behind the sparkle was a whole lot of thinking, testing, patience, and precision. Every light pathway, wire layout, battery placement, and seam had to work in perfect harmony so the costumes could shine safely, comfortably, and flawlessly.

NYE at Atlantis The Palm ✨
Behind every moment of spectacle is hours of craftsmanship, problem-solving, and precision.
From concept to final fitting, each costume was built to move, perform, and shine under pressure.
Creating for a stage of this scale is demanding—but deeply rewarding.
Grateful for the trust, the collaboration, and the opportunity to bring performance to life, one costume at a time 🤍 by @sandhya_costume

Ocean x Human Connection — Costume Concept A collection inspired by the tides that shape our world and the emotions that shape us.
Fluid drapes, wide-leg silhouettes, and asymmetry echo the rise and fall of waves. Sheer layers reveal what lies beneath—mirroring vulnerability and truth. Pleats ripple like breath across water, while deep ocean blues and stormy greys reflect shifting moods and hidden depths.
Designed for movement, each piece trails, sways, and flows like water in motion—connecting dancers to each other through unseen currents.
This is where humanity meets the sea: fluid, resilient, and endlessly deep.

Creating costumes for @lanayfahmi @sharjah_paa cast has been a visceral experience — sculpting emotion into fabric, stitching pain, anger, and intensity into every thread.
Arty anatomical hearts, raw veins, and explosive silhouettes… this one is not about pretty — it’s about feeling. All sustainably made 🫶 @theidomovement

Can’t wait to witness it all come alive on stage tomorrow night @simaperformingarts Friday 8pm Saturday shows also available .

Let it burn. Let it bleed. Let it move.

Born this way — and ready to SLAY!

I had an absolute blast creating Gaga-inspired holographic jackets for a fierce squad of 40 high-energy dancers!
Think sparkle, attitude, and movement — all wrapped up in one show-stopping piece.

These jackets were made to shine on stage, reflecting every beat, every move, every moment. Designed for impact, crafted for confidence — and powered by pure pop star energy.

Here’s to bold style, fearless dancers, and the magic that happens when fashion meets performance.
