The bachelor's thesis, entitled "Comedia del'arte as an inspiration for illustrations and making of a female costume," explores the rich history and cultural significance of commedia dell'arte and the way in which this Italian theatrical genre can serve as a creative basis for contemporary costume design. Commedia dell'arte, which has its roots in Italy during the 16th century is characterized by its recognizable characters, improvisation and iconic costumes that continue to inspire many designers and artists. The focus of this work is the character of Colombine, a servant girl known for her intelligence, cunning and charm, who is chosen as the character to make the female costume for. The theoretical part of the work explores the historical development of Commedia dell'arte, deals with the analysis of the characters and their characteristic costumes, and explains how these elements influenced the style and aesthetics of theatrical performances. It has been investigated how costuming contributes to characterization of characters, with the study of the symbolism of materials, cuts, colors and masks that define individual roles. The practical part of the thesis includes the creation of costume illustrations inspired by the characters of Commedia dell'arte, with the aim of creating an innovative approach to the combination of tradition and my interpretation of the characters. It describes the process from the initial idea to the realization of a woman's costume, discussing tailoring techniques, the choice of materials, and the creation of accessories such as masks and gloves. Particular attention is paid to the use of natural and traditional materials combined with modern techniques of sewing fabrics to establish a link between historical heritage and my interpretation of the characters. In addition, the aesthetic and technical challenges in designing costumes that fit the character but remain functional for the stage performance were explored. The aim of this work is to show how elements from the rich heritage of Commedia dell'arte can be reinterpreted in a contemporary context, providing a fresh perspective on theatrical costume design and opening up opportunities for further research and innovation in design and the performing arts.
