Costume Design

Tamara Leacock is an artist, activist, ethical fashion writer, who uses fashion design and performance as her media of social expression and outreach. Through her most recent fashion project, ReciclaGEM (or “recycling” in Portuguese), she creates one of a kind works of wearable art from recycled clothing donations and renewable fibers with couture techniques, inspired by salient political, public health and social themes of regional and global importance. She is very excited to be apart of such a thematically critical social performance. Tamara has received a dual B.A. in Latin American Studies and International Studies from Yale University, where she created her first socially inspired fashion productions. And currently, she is pursuing an M.A. in Individualized Study with a concentration in “Community Development through the Stewardship of Ethical Fashion”at NYU while training further in sustainable design and haute couture at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
