History of Pendragon year by year – 2001

Theatre work was a cornerstone of our work, with the most memorable production we worked on was alongside costume designer Genevieve Blanchett for Queensland Theatre Company’s production: “The Forest”. You can see the taffeta button boots pictured here.

On the fashion side of things, we were developing a side label called Ground Control. We were featured in a lavish photoshoot titled “Hey Honey I’m home” for the Courier Mail in Brisbane.

The same collection, and a few other over the top creations, were displayed in the Queensland Craft Council’s window display in Fortitude Valley.

Our first work in a feature film was this year as well. SCOOBY DOO!  We made the yellow shoes the animatronic dog wore when he dressed as a human to board an aeroplane to Spooky Island.  Google Scooby Doo airport scene if you want to see them.

Many of the shoes we made this year very much informed some of the popular designs we still make today.

Here is a great article that was published in Map Magazine in Brisbane in 2001.
