Raising Our Forefathers From The Dead: I Recreate Costumes From Famous Paintings
24Kviews
My name is Nicole Friedersdorf, I am a German costume designer aka DarkDirndl – specialized on the reconstruction of historic gowns and dresses – exactly as seen on paintings, sketches or for real in museums or exhibitions.
In cooperation with Markus Gath, a quite talented and smart photographer, I started the Resurrection Project: reproducing gowns from paintings as they might have been looked for real (color, fabric, details, etc.), finding models quite alike to those in the painting and setting them in scene like on the painting. We want to give our forefathers a real face, bringing people even closer to their history! We just started, below are our first shootings – more to come. Our goal is to work with museums/schools on projects didactically or private citizens wanting to be set in scene like below in reconstructed costumes.

it is a beautiful work. However, if someone says "I do exact reconstruction"--I expect to see the exact reconstruction. Just me, though ))
No I'm dissapointed too:( I'd say they are inspired by cause too different.
Hi! The last three pics should not be in - they were added by boredpanda, taken from my website - but they do not belong to the series.
I agree, it should be exact
I agree, if it's exact costumes then I want exact
She doesn't say exact, she only says recreate and reconstruction. And she says that she did her best to show what it would have looked liked
I agree. Not enough attention to detail to call it exact replication. Inspired by would be more accurate.

Schön, ich würde aber schönere Kleider machen, es gibt soooo viele und schöne. Die person ist nicht so wichtig ;)
Elizabeth's eyes have to be more brownish and Melancholia looks very amateur to me :(
