Concept:

The decadence of the 1920's and Oscar Wilde go hand and hand. I envision Mrs. Cheveley as a silent film star or femme fatale. While Oscar Wilde describes many of the female characters as fragile and reminiscent of works by various artists. I am going to put the charm of the 1920's into these women with lace and brightly-colored outfits. Despite their flaws the other women have the best intentions for those around them. The excessively cultured Mrs. Cheveley is the exception, a corrupt and fickle woman. She will show the darker side of the era, a femme fatale.   She is a black widow and the men are her victims. To show this she will remain in dark and seductive clothing, showing the flapper and lawbreaking side of the era.
