As part of my research for my Estella character from Great Expectations, I looked around for inspiration for possible design ideas. I looked at previous remakes of the novel in film and TV, as well as sketches and fashion photography. Below are a few photos that I collected. To see more take a look at my Pinterest board that I created: http://www.pinterest.com/elliesimons94/estella-great-expectations/
Estella was raised by Miss Havisham from the age of 3 years old and has become her adopted daughter. She is a heartless character and has been taught by Miss Havisham to be cold and cruel to men and to 'break their hearts'. Estella treats Pip cruelly throughout the novel, holding control over him and not loving him back, until the very end. I imagine Estella to be quite youthful and natural and I want to incorporate the idea of her heartlessness through her appearance.
