I assistant directed this quirky, charming play that was inspired by the costume designs of Olivera Gajic. It follows seven people as they try to find the right clothes (and themselves) while rediscovering old friends and making new ones at a boutique called Shimmer and Herringbone. The play also featured original music played by a live string trio (wearing pigeon heads).
