Costume Design Archive

It was only two days ago that I found out that costume designer, and nemesis to classic film fans and costume design enthusiasts everywhere, Jean-Pierre Dorleac, died last month.

'Warriors of the Deep' Costume Design by Judy Pepperdine Several futuristic uniforms were designed and made for the serial's guest cast.

'The Happiness Patrol' Costume Design by Richard Croft Croft designed a double-breasted jacket and skirt made of crushed red velvet for Sheila Hancock as the dictator Helen A, the outfit complimented by the gaudy wig and makeup.

'Attack of the Cybermen' Costume Design by Anushia Nieradzik Anushia Nieradzik's costuming duties mostly went to the Cryons, a race of crystalline aliens.

'Terror of the Autons' Costume Design by Ken Trew One of Ken Trew's main tasks was to revamp Pertwee's costume; Trew's new look consisted of a maroon velvet smoking jacket with black cord piping, and worn with a black Inverness cape lined with purple silk.

'Day of the Daleks' Costume Design by Mary Husband The Daleks' ape-like Ogron soldiers wear a uniform consisting of a vinyl vest with tubing around the shoulders and collar.

(Note: James Acheson's duties for 'Terror of the Zygons' mostly went to designing the Zygon costumes and outsourcing their construction.

'The Time Warrior' Costume Design by James Acheson This serial was set in the Middle Ages; no doubt all the extras and bit-parts were all in reused wardrobe stock.

(Note: As I am still going through older articles and fixing them up with newer images, once again expect to see several 'new' articles that are just redressed old ones in the next few weeks, especially for Doctor Who.

Costume Design by Morton Haack Note: Originally, the sequel's costumes were included in my article on the original film, but I have recently redone that article and decided the sequel should be in its own article!

Costume Design by Francine Jamison-Tanchuck A campy 90s tech thriller, Virtuosity is for the most part plainclothes.

Costume Design by Danilo Donati Costume designer Danilo Donati had previously worked with Benigni on 1994's The Monster and would work with him again on 2002's Pinocchio; Donati's experience on Fascist-era period productions like Fellini's Amarcord and Pa…

Costume Design by Danilo Donati The design sense of Salo, Pier Paolo Pasolini's infamously bleak and grotesque final film, is in stark contrast to his previous works, with perhaps the clearest difference seen in the costumes.

Costume Design by Piero Tosi One wonders how much director Liliana Cavani was inspired by Luchino Visconti's The Damned when making The Night Porter (aka Il portiere di notte).

Costume Design by Piero Tosi Luchino Visconti's The Damned (aka La caduta degli dei in its native Italy) centred on a family of perverted industrialists who manipulate one another as they curry favour with Hitler's new regime.

Now, this may seem like a bit of an odd choice to talk about here; after all, it's not actually costumes, real tangible objects that exist and remain after filming is done.

Costume Design by Theodor Pistek A gloomy thriller focusing on an evil automobile corporation; said corporation's minions play with the film's vampirism themes by wearing blood red and black clothing.

Costume Design by William Ware Theiss A pilot film for a prospective Gene Rodenberry series that never came to fruition; Gene Rodenberry would rework the concept into Planet Earth a year later.

Hey anyone who's been checking out this blog still; life's been a little hectic these last few months, so I've not been updating this as much; combined with social media turning out to be even more of a crock thanks to Boer billionaires, even Blogger's st…
