PENNYWISE: CUSTOM COSTUME

· ·

2017:
Victor V. asked us for a custom Pennywise costume to wear to the premiere of IT, and this was a very cool project with some swell fabrics: Two colors of silk dupioni with great rouching and piping details all over the place, then garnished with wool yarn pom poms plus some great paisley trimmings and tassel fringe.

His makeup is by one of the artists at the Fear Factory right here in Salt Lake. Victor tells us he will resurrect Pennywise when the IT sequel hits the theaters in 2019:)
