I don't know if you seen this video, they should hire you!!
Thanks Andy! Yes, I did see it and I will feature some of the costumes in my next video! Hopefully out early next week. 😃
random question, do you have any experience or interest in designing sport wears?
+ANDYofzz No sorry I don't. I just worked in costumes and for a while lingerie.
aww too bad, you would come up with something fancy easily I think
I love that Sansa's "dragonfly" brooches could really be the trees' leaves. Those trees are very important to her family and the fact she seems to hold onto them shows she's honoring her family and remembers where she came from, even when she feels lost.
Yes, absolutely!
I love how Cersei wears her "amber spikey ring" when she's with Tommen In S2 battle of the black water nearly killing him and we're given a close up of the ring in s6, episode 10 before Sept explosion, then tommen dying
I love that ring. It's cut out of one piece of stone.
I love how much information you find out about the costumes! The costumes and sets in GoT is definitely one of my favourite things about the show because it brings the books to life in a less restricted way than the story line.
I loved the costumes in the Tudors and was hoping you would talk about how realistic they were for the time period. Same with Medici masters of Florence if you think there would be enough people interested in that. :)
+natp14 I have the Tudors on my list of shows. Once I get through the summer - I'm planning on doing a weekly analysis of season 7 GOTs - I'll get back to doing other shows.
Thanks. I am looking forward to it :)
This video has already hit 1000 views! Thank you so much!
It's amazing the information you find behind these pieces x
+Mrs Dimples Beauty Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel. The costumes have always been one of my favorite parts of the show, and I've learned so much more from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words.
This channel has filled a much needed void in my search for more details on costume. Keep it up !
Thank you so much!
I love these costume analysis videos. Would you ever consider analyzing theatre costumes? I would be interested in what you had to say about costuming in French musicals like Roméo et Juliette or La Légende du Roi Arthur.
Great video, your narrating ability gets better and better with each and every video!
I like how the costume designers for GOT have made the wardrobe for Dany to be a mixture of Western and South Asian fashion, which makes sense as she is a Westerosi woman who was raised in Essos, so her clothing reflects her multicultural upbringing.
Thanks Justice. Yes, I do love Dany's hybrid look as well. It will be interesting to see how she evolves now that she's back in Westeros.
I'm from India and we normally wear kurtis so it's quite funny to hear that Dany's gowns have been influenced from this style. It looks so different in our Indian period dramas,maybe it's because they mostly wear it with regal, voluminous skirts underneath while Dany goes for a more combat ready look with trousers underneath.
Yes, I agree! I think that Michele Clapton (the designer) likes to mash-up a variety of influences from many cultures. There is a lot of Indian culture in many of hr costumes. Even the fabrics are often times beautiful saree silks and brocades.
hi,
I just discovered your channel recently and I am absolutely loving all of your Game of Thrones videos, so informative! Thank you for posting such well done videos.
+goddess131 My pleasure!
I am still so salty about Marge getting blown up. She's my forever queen.
Yes, I miss her! She was a great foil for Cersei.
Another thing about the lion necklaces that I think you missed is that Tyrion also gifts one to Ros in the first season (which later leads to Cersei thinking she is his mistress instrad of Shae) and Myrcella is also wearing one, so my guess is that it is a "Lannister thing," a trinket a Lannister gifts to show their favor to someone. And because both, Cersei and Myrcella, are wearing it, I'm assuming it's something every female Lannister wears.
I just love your videos! I have researched the costumes a lot and even wrote my bachelor thesis on the subject, so there are a lot of things I'm familiar with but still I'm learning at least one new thing in every video. You're doing an amazing job.
+Sarah Pusteblume Oh, I don't remember Tyrion giving one to Ros!
It's in the very beginning when they are leaving Winterfell and Tyrion visits Ros. And I'm happy I could teach you something new as well (or bring a forgotten fact to mind) :)
+Sarah Pusteblume You guys are the best with reminding me of these awesome details.
love seeing new GOT videos!!
Hi Swannie, I'll have a regular GOTs video out in the next few weeks!
Wow, what an interesting video! I loved the fact with the Kurtis :o
Thanks Verena!
Amazing video, as always! Would love to see Jon, LF & Varys analysis vids! Also, you sound JUST like Megan from Mad Men!!
+Pika Chu That's such a complement! Jessica Pare annd I are both from Montreal, so that makes sense!
Incredible video thank you!
Thanks Minh!
Your videos are wonderful!
+Prof. Cecily Cogsworth Thanks Cecily.
Thanks for the awesome info, as usual!
I loved the info about the Lannister Lion pendants, but wanted to mention something else interesting about them...
In S05E02 Cersei gets a box with a snake statue inside it, holding a Lion pendant in its mouth. She brings Jamie in and shows it to him, and tells him that "There are only two of these pendants in the world". She then tells him that she's wearing one and Myrcella is wearing the other, so this necklace must be Myrcella's.
This causes Jamie to rush to Dorne to rescue her, as they take this as a threat that she's in the clutches of the Sand Snakes. The interesting thing is, as you mentioned, there is at least one other of these pendants - Sansa's.
Now, the real question is - Is the pendant in the snake's jaws really Myrcella's? (She does say that she lost hers, so we assume it is).
Why did Cersei say that there were only two? She must have known about Sansa's necklace. I can't imagine Joffrey just had it made out of the goodness of his heart... *choke*...
Did Cersei mean there were only two of that larger size?
Did she want to get Jamie out of Kings' Landing for a time?
Did she just want Myrcella back?
What, EXACTLY, was going on?
The death of Myrcella deletes Dorne's idea of seizing the throne via Myrcella. Don't forget, Dorne has a different inheritance law than the rest of Westeros. In Dorne, the eldest child inherits - irrespective of sex - so by Dornish law Myrcella would be the next in line for the throne, not Tommen. Did Cersei know this? Is that why she wanted to break Myrcella and Trystane up, or did she just not want more Dornish influence in KL?
OMG I love this series! It's so good it's insane!
I think GOT is going to take over as 'the best TV series ever produced' and 'West Wing' is goign to lose the throne! :D
I totally forgot about that plot point! I'm just finishing the Dornish segment of my next video and Myrcella is most definitely wearing the Lannister pendant. Steensons Jewellery made two pendants - 1 large and 1 small one. Cersei also wears a pendant in a flashback scene, so it's possible that the creators were moving them around, but like you said, there should be at least 3.
Just a thought...maybe Cersei planted the snake with the necklace in order to get Myrcella back. She was getting more and more paranoid (rightfully so) and probably sensed the growing danger for Mrycella (although the Dornish / Sand Snakes never intended to harm her initially). I wonder if Jame had never gone to Dorne if Myrcella might have remained safe.
Costume Cinematografico i remember Ellaria and the other sand snakes stole it from myrcella to threaten Cersei.
Yeees a new GOT video :) I just binge watched season 6 to get me in the mood for season 7 :) only 2 more months to go :D
+bumblelini I can't wait!
I just found your channel and I love it!! I really love how you make very detailed comments about the embroidery in the GOT costumes and thanks to your links I'm starting a project making a hoodie using the dragon scale stitch from the Dany costumes :3
+Paulimar Angulo Ulacio That's so awesome. I was trying to do a tutorial on it but I wasn't happy with my results. Would you be willing to share your hoodie project? I'm starting to showcase some of my viewers artwork and cosplay.
It might take me some time, but I'll share it :)
Clothes etc. are not really my thing but your videos are very interesting! I've never thought of these things. You've got a fan in Finland ;)
Thank you so much!
Loved watching your breakdown of the costumes of Game of Thrones! It's very interesting and the analyses is great!
One tiny correction though. What you're referring to as a "Kurta" or "Kurti"is actually a Peshwaz, which though similar to the Kurta was actually worn above skirts by women of the Mughal Empire in India. It was Persian attire introduced to India with the Mughal invasion in 1526 and has since become a part of our ethnic costume repertoire. It was a kind of jacket or "jama" to be worn above a bodice and with time it evolved into a tunic worn above a skirt. Often, the women would wear several such garments one on top of the other, to give a layered look. This was achieved by the garments being made from the finest silk or muslin available to the Mughals then, giving a wonderful see through yet layered look. The slits can be in front or at the sides as well, depending on the style prevalent during a given period. Front slits were all the rage in the period between 1600-1900. Nowadays, side slits or curved openings in the front are a more modern rendition of the Peshwaz, intended to show off the elaborate skirt worn beneath. Here are some links for the same
www.utsavpedia.com/attires/clothing-styles-drapes/peshwaz/ - This one is a description and history for the Peshwaz.
th-cam.com/video/h6lHUn20J5g/w-d-xo.html - This is a song sequence from a recent period film in India called "Bajirao Mastani". In the song, the main central dancer, Mastani is wearing a perfect recreated example of what an original Peshwaz would have looked like.
Keep Making these amazing videos! love to watch them :D :D
Thanks Nirvaan! I did come across that garment when researching the Dorne costumes. I don't think that is the correct silhouette for Dany's costumes because there is too much flare in the skirt and not enough fit in the bodice. So while the garment I have referenced may not be correctly called a Kurti (a) the silhouette I have provided in the Indo-Western gaments is.
You are absolutely right. Michelle Clapton probably liked how the Peshwaz interacted with skirt and the body in general and used it as an inspiration, considering traditional Peshwaz's are supposed to be full sleeved. And Indo-Western is the right term for the sleeveless type dresses as traditionally, women's clothing would hardly ever reveal any skin.
And yes, the flair in the skirt is something that would look very heavily borrowed from eastern traditions. I just love how much the makers of the costumes borrowed their ideas from countries like China, India & Japan. Thank you for your hard work and research on these videos.. May i request you to do a series on other period films & series? Such as "The Tudors", "The White Queen", "Anonymous" etc? Thanks a lot !
+Nirvaan Ghosh Yes, she does indeed borrow quite heavily from other cultures. I'm really torn about it quite honestly. I do really appreciate your imput. I've had to rely on friends from South East Asia for some guidance.
As far as other vids, I will be doing a Network Queens video that includes the Tudors Queens and the White Queen.
in the "making of Game of Thrones" that you mention,do they talk about designing process for everyone from Dorne? Sand Snakes have similar styles to each other, also I loved Oberyn and his style :D
They probably do. Here is a link to the site: www.makinggameofthrones.com/
I will be doing a breakdown of the different regions of Thrones, including Dorne.
Love your videos ! Could you do some videos on Mad Men costumes?
Thanks Mimi!
Would you do costumes from The Tudors or even the White Princess (after it finishes airing)?
Yes, I intend on doing the Tudors! I don't think I know the White Princess.
It's a new starz show about Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Every time I see an episode, I just keep thinking about the amazing costumes and what your thoughts on them would be. 😊
Okay, I don't get Starz but maybe they will put it on Netflix like how they did with Outlander. :)
Hopefully =)
Great video as always, thank you! Kram och solsken ☀️N
could you analyse The White Princess costumes?
Hi Jan, I have it on my list!
Great
sansa's mother's name is pronounced Kat-lynn, not Cait-lin.
Yeah, I'm having some issue getting the names right. It's like I have a part of my brain that doesn't process. Thanks for the correction. :)
I hate to be that person but the stress in Viserys name is in the E not the I, the same way Daenerys Is pronounced.
+Rhaenys Okay, thank you for the correction. :)
Thanks Rhaenys! I was about to mention the same thing! :D
+asyoz Still having problems with it for the next video!
Just think of it as Sarah, but with a short 'vi' at the front and an 's' on the end. I think that might help?
Damn, I just realised the US might pronounce 'Sarah' differently to how we do in Australia!
It needs to be Sarah like S-air-ah, not SA-rah
Maybe try this: vis-AIR-i's.
OR... Here's a thought... Maybe just don't worry about it. Your costume analysis is so utterly magnificent I'm pretty sure we can overlook one mispronounced name! :D
Lollys stokeworth in season 5 outfit is like slightly different from King's landing and ceresi (house lives in the crownlands) could it be that it's an old Targaryen style that ceresi might had adopted to her looks
I don't know. Let me have a look at that. :)
The ring that Sansa wore was not a dragonfly, but actually a moth. Here's a link of the store that made it:
www.lucysylvester.co.uk/catalog/product.php?CI_ID=40&Item=%27Hawk%20Moth%20and%20Poppy%20Seed%20Head%20Ring%20in%20silver.%27
The broaches look like something that this store would make, but I haven't seen anything like it in their website.
+TheEstrellastar Thanks so much! Love you guys - you're always a wealth of info. I had another viewer ask me where they are made and I wasn't sure. :)
I'm going to put together a supplier list if you have any more sources.
2:15 the necklace is not centered in the picture (it is lopsided) and it is driving me nuts even four years later.
🤣
How does the necklace given to Sansa differ from Myrcella's necklace?
+Dena Jansen It's just a bit smaller. I show a comparison picture in another video. Let me find it.
Do you watch the hbo show "girls"? If yes, could make a video about costumes? I think Jessa with her bohemian style would be interesting :)
i'd like some details about the clothes worn by women of Bravos
I have a video planned for the Costumes of Essos, although it might have to take a back seat with the new season coming.
Daenerys' dress remindes me of this Ancient Greek sculpture, Hera of Samos: ancientrome.ru/art/artwork/sculp/mythology/gr/hera/hera004.jpg
Btw, thank you for the videos, they are very interesting!
Sorry, can you remind me which dress?
This one :) th-cam.com/video/e7Y0hYkobcY/w-d-xo.html
Okay, got it. The skirt is sunburst or sunray pleated which is a sharp knife pleat that is more narrow at the waist than the hem. The pleating in the statue is called antique pleating (at least, that what I learned in school) - it's a very fine even pleating used in ancient Greek and Roman clothing. I talk about it in my Crimson Peak video - I'll try and get you the link for that. You will see this type of pleating used in fashion by Madame Gres and Fortuny.
I'd like to see more men's fashion.
+King Steffon Winchester XII I have some coming. :)
Costume Cinematografico
Thank you :)
My favorite episode of your show was the Margaery examination :)
+King Steffon Winchester XII No problem. Who do you want to see?
Costume Cinematografico
Thanks for being so hands on with your audience :) That's always awesome.
For Game of Thrones I'd like to see Tywin.
If you were to do the Tudors then definitely King Henry and Queen Anne.
gosh production is expensive
I still don't get why they made such a convoluted plot to poison Joffrey. Just smear poison into his wine chalice and be done with it... What they did had a far greater chance of failing or being discovered.
Was this in the book?
I can't remember for sure, but I think in the book it was left unclear and we had a few red herings. It could be very well that Littlefinger made Sansa believe that she was part of the plot without her knowledge in order to make her follow him (in any case, the others saw her guilty anyway).
If I further remember correctly, both Preston Jakobs and The Order of the Green Hand came up with their own theory on what really happened and both theories were very different.
hi I like you video :)
+NINGO,S TV Thank you!
Costume Cinematografico yeah I just subscribe
+NINGO,S TV Thanks! I will sub you back. :)
Costume Cinematografico oh cool thanks :)
