Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia, 1599


The character is based on Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain. She wears a reinterpretation of the metal corsets worn in the 16th century, when black was a fashionable colour in Spain. The cross represents faith, which had a considerable influence on fashion at that time.
