Prue calls herself a ‘craftist, designer, maker’. She creates clothes, costumes and accessories for people, theatre, film, television, parades, protests and installations.
After a successful career in journalism, Prue decided to study costume (her original love) and has been working steadily in the field ever since.
“I was one of the milliners to work on the Australian production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. A highlight of this contract was that my original clay sculptures and subsequent moulds for the Toulouse-Lautrec female ensemble cast member latex wigs, were used as the models for the worldwide productions in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
She has been on the costuming team for SIX, Hamilton, & Juliet, Beauty and the Beast, as well as many on-ship shows for P&O Cruises.
Prue has worked for Pinchgut Opera, Opera Australia, Bangarra Dance Theatre and her pieces have appeared on stage for World Pride 2023, Mardi Gras, The Voice, Australian Idol, as well as numerous advertising clients and musical artists.
