The first rule of costume design is there are no rules, but there are guidelines and conventions that can increase chances of success, helping the new costume designer develop an eye for what is effective. But what does it mean to be effective? How do designers know when their work is good?
Costumes are garments that bring a character to life. They tell a story of a person, of a creature in the night, of a monster, a whimsical spirit, and countless others. Using clothes as context clues, the audience can know a characters personality before they say a single word. They help immerse an audience in a story and make them suspend their disbelief for a few short hours. Costume design creates verisimilitudea show that is verisimilitudinous means its world feels plausible enough to be believable to an audience. It is the illusion of reality.
The best designers work looks effortless on stage, as if the characters in the play are real people and not actors. What a layperson does not see is the thousands of hours of research, drawing, planning, discussion, shopping, building, and improvising. The script offers words for the actor, but costume designersin collaboration with scenic, light, and soundput the character into the world.
A designer wields two main tools: an understanding of human behavior and the costume itself (which can include clothing, masks, makeup, and a variety of accessories). When designers read a script, they must figure out the core of each characters personality. After a thorough knowledge is gained, they dress characters in a way that makes that character believable within the world the team wants to create.
In order to understand a character enough to choose their wardrobe, first, a designer must understand why people wear clothes.
In 3300 BCE, a 45-year-old man died on the tztal Alps, his body soon frozen within the glacier. In 1991, two hikers discovered his perfectly preserved body, including his clothing. Scientists named him tzi.
tzi wore a grass cloak, a sheep-hide loincloth, and a coat sewn together with pieces of goat and sheep fur. The shoes had been carefully constructed with deer hide using dry grass as insulation. With this outfit, tzi could face the profound cold, the torrential winds, the heavy rains, and all the deep snow that came with living in the mountains.
