Maleficent: Causing or capable of producing evil or mischief
Although most of us know Maleficent in the form of Angelina Jolie, the dark fairy who protects the magical creatures of the Moors, for many of us, the connection goes back much further. Sixty years before the current on screen sequel, many of us were introduced to the evil Maleficent while watching our VHS copies of the 1959 Disney classic Sleeping Beauty.
Although tagged as 'evil', like most powerful women, Maleficent is much more complex and misunderstood. Maleficent does what she does for a reason, and is heroic in her own way, even if not appreciated by those around her.
I can't think of a better representation of beauty and power than Maleficent, making her the perfect character for Sergey to inhabit next. In this new series, photographer Richard Rothstein celebrates the mistress of Evil as she looks over the kingdom and forest she's responsible to protect.
Sergey put together the costume himself, and with a little help from Richard, along with make-up artist Nicky Whitten, Maleficent hit Manhattan. Sergey seems right at home in his feathers and tight leather pants and perfectly channels all of Maleficent's power and wicked wicked ways.
Maleficent is one of many characters Sergey and Richard have brought to life through costume and creativity over the last couple of years. From Maleficent to Mermaids, check out Sergey's many alter egos on PAGE 2 HERE:
End of long day!
