Costume design:

Costume design is the fabrication of apparel for the overall appearance of a character or performer. This usually involves researching, designing and building the actual items from conception. Costume design is a vital tool in storytelling, from the most obvious and flamboyant show clothing to contemporary clothes. Costumes may be for a theater or cinema performance but may not be limited to such. Costume design should not be confused with costume coordination which merely involves altering existing clothing, although both create stage clothes.

Costumes worn by actors have to be practical, able to stand up to the rigours of being worn sometimes hundreds of times, under hot lighting, in actions that can involve physical exertion and therefore call for flexibility as well as comfort.

Types Of Costumes:

    Edith Head: Hollywood's First Woman Fashion Designer

    The 1930s ushered in the Golden Age of Hollywood when new technological advances brought lighting, photography, and sound to a new level of excellence. Along with these technical advances, wardrobe departments of major motion picture studios were busy as costume designers, with the assistance of skilled seamstresses, milliners, and tailors, produced stunning garments for glamorous movie stars. During the 1930s and 1940s the field of costume design was dominated by men. But, that didn’t stop Edith Head, who would become one of Hollywood’s most prolific designers, working on more than 500 films, a record for a career such as hers.…

    Troy Maxson's Character In Fences, By August Wilson

    The character I chose to render a costume design for is Troy Maxson from the play Fences by August Wilson. Troy is the family’s main source of income and his character is a very strong willed and stubborn 53-year-old man. Troy relentlessly told his son, Cory, multiple times that his football recruitment was a waste of time and that he should get “…recruited in how to fix cars or something where he can make a living” (8; ch.1, sec.1). Therefore, from Troy’s actions, I knew that his costume should entail a sense of seriousness such as nothing brightly colored or crazy patterned clothing. Another area in the script that influences my costume choices was the setting of the play. The play was set on a dirty entrance of an old brick building house…

    she kills monsters

    The costume design of the play is pretty interesting. Costumes indicated the timeline and places that the story was taking place (Wilson and Goldfarb 173). Actors who dressed normally lived in the real world, and those who wore game costumes lived in the virtual world. The costume design also indicates the characterization. For instance, Agnes in normal clothes showed that she was a student and lived a normal life. Tilly who is Agnes 's sister, wore a black and tight costume with a sword. This showed that Tilly liked the passionate life. The accessories and weapons indicated which of the two spaces the actors were in. The make-up of some actors who lived in the virtual world was exaggerated and little scary. The hairstyles of the actors were also creative and varied.…

    WW2 POWs

    To do this the performers must get into character this can be by changing their voice to show the emotions of a character or by simply looking the part this is where a costume comes into play. Costumes are one of the most important parts of a play; they make the audience feel comforted by the characters. Like a soldier who has been in a war they aren’t going to have a clean face they need scars and to be dirty otherwise people think that it is unrealistic and that they aren’t in character. In my position as a sentry he should look dirty and should be tired but weary. Where as a colonel should look a bit more formal but in times of war they should lose this and become cunning and deceitful. I think that my costume does this, as the hat I am to wear is more of a commando hat, making it for stealth more then combat. As Boyle his look should be respectable as he is a teacher so he should be in a casual suit, again he should be more formal than other characters, such as Lynda. This is why I have chosen a casual dress shirt and school pants.…

    Marisol Character Analysis

    I especially loved the outfit that was designed for the woman with fur (played by Alexandra Zadak), the costume designer Amanda Holtzman, did an exceptionally outstanding job with that character’s outfit. When the woman appeared on stage, she was glamorous. She wore pointed-toe heels, a silky log sleeve top that was paired with some silky bottoms that gleamed in the light, and she has this humongous fur coat that covered most of her outfits. This woman walked with class and superiority. Her costume gave her this extra aristocratic vibe that made my eyes bulge out of their sockets.…

    Commedia Dell Arte Research Paper

    Each character would have a specific outfit to help the audience identify who they were. Costumes consisted of loose fitting closes, tight fitting clothes and many colors to create an elaborate look. In commedia dell’Arte, the colors of the costumes would also represent mood and social class. Each character had a, individual mask that would also make it easy to figure out who each character was. The masks would also, “limit the view of the actors, making them snake their head from side to side to see what was going on. The characters all had characteristics that governed the way they moved and this would directly affect the way they did things on the stage.”(…

    The Evolution of American Women's Fashion

    Throughout the centuries fashion has changed in almost everything except its name. What started off as a special preserve of the privileged few has become an area in which all people can enjoy no matter what their status is. The old time consuming traditions of hand craftsmanship, which used to put most people out of reach of fashion, has over the years gone through gradual change. But what has been responsible for this progressive change in American women's fashion over time? What influences have helped shape the way American women's fashion has panned out over the centuries? Most historians in this area agree that the change and progression in women's fashion can be credited to outside forces such as the present political conditions or beliefs among the societies in which these women take part in. Rose Kerr, a historian specializing in pop culture and women's fashion and author of "Historic Costume", states in the introduction to her book that "costume has always been influenced by contemporary conditions-social, religious, and political."…
