Careers in Fashion: Placements Abroad

Boss Morris is a group of female Morris dancers from Stroud in Gloucestershire. They formed in 2015 and perform at all sorts of events, such as local seasonal events, fetes, festivals and music awards (including Glastonbury and the Brits). Their style of dancing is Cotswold Morris but Boss pride themselves on adding 'twists and tweaks' and wearing 'radical' costumes. This has enabled them to engage with new and different audiences. They often perform with 'beasts' such as a lamb, a bull and an owl. All the costumes including the 'beasts' are hand-made, and designed and created by the whole group. Josie Wilkes and Lily Cheetham have been involved with the group for several years and absolutely love what they do.
