"California Originals'' might be n appropriate label to be sewn nto the costumes for Kiss Me, Krte to be produced at Willam ette University on Msy 3 and 4, for they have been created ex clusively for this musical by a California designer. j Although he is s native Ore-' gonian and resident of Salem,1 Jsck Byers, designer of the cos tumes, is now working toward a master's degree in costume and set design at San Jose State Col lege in California. . Byers sketched costumes for the drama department which Would be "a compromise between standard musical comedy cos tumes and Italian Rennaissance garb," in keeping with the Elizabethan-contemporary tone of the play. Concentrating on line full gored skirts, puffed sleeves, large sashes and color red, pink, and gold for Kate, and turquoise, gold and black for Bisnca, Byers has retained the identical pat terns and yet has managed with a few Innovations to alter the entire appearance of the cos tumes. A similar technique was employed for the men's ward robes rust olive-green, and gold for Petruchio, and navy, black, and gold for Lucentio, but the addition of a cloak, a high collar, and trimmings have considerably changed tne form of the dress. . Byers obtained his BA at San Jose State, and he plans to work with costume design at the Pen tads Theatre this summer.
