How to Dress Like a God: Heavenly Costume Design That’s Truly Divine | Video Essay | Prime Video

Показать описание

It almost feels sacrilegious to even think about it, but how do you go about dressing a deity? It’s a challenge that costume designers have come up against surprisingly often. From a down-to-earth antichrist like Adam Young in Good Omens to the glamorous Gillian Anderson in American Gods, the threads have got to be on point. Of course, costume designers could fall back on an old Biblical standby, white robes and a beard never do go out of style; but what about the deities who defy the good book of fashion? In this video essay, find out how some films and TV shows have rewritten the style bible.
