How a Sci-Fi Costume Designer Creates Futuristic Fashion | io9

The future of fashion. Can anyone really predict what the most fabulous designs from far, far away will look like? Well, plenty of sci-fi films have tried and costume designers put an incredible amount of work to make our fantastical futures look fab.

“I think one of the most important and really interesting parts of my of my job as a costume designer is when doing something sci-fi, is having to find details that tell hints about what that character is,” designer Ami Goodheart told io9. This task is much less straightforward in sci-fi than in other genres, as the costume designer is not making character choices from an existing fashion history as they would in a piece set in the real-world present or past. Instead, costume designers in sci-fi must invent a whole visual language and fashion ecosystem.”

This does help me with my course. I'm doing costume design this September and I'll definitely look forward to it. I am actually coming up with futuristic ideas using both natural fabrics and old fashions like a tunic. And jackets that use layer effects. A prototype worked okay and I'm making better one next week.

Dusters, Vests and Jackets seem to be a common trope in the genre
