Pop Diva's Couture: From Volcanoes to Other Dimensions
17 Apr
Summary
- Volcanoes inspired Mother Mary's powerful, sequin-drenched stage costume.
- A rigid, oceanic-hued bodysuit nearly derailed Mother Mary's concert.
- Iris van Herpen designed a transcendent red gown for the film's finale.
The film "Mother Mary" delves into the world of pop star costuming, featuring fictional singer Mother Mary and her designer, Sam. The film's costume designer, Bina Daigeler, drew inspiration from volcanoes for an initial powerful, sequin-heavy stage outfit.
This ensemble included a cape, bodysuit, and a gold headpiece, aiming for a dark yet commanding aesthetic. Another striking, though problematic, costume was a rigid, oceanic-hued bodysuit that Mother Mary found too distracting.
Ultimately, Dutch couturier Iris van Herpen created the film's finale gown. This vibrant red dress, structured with micro-pleats and dramatic folds, was designed to represent transcendence, moving beyond typical pop star stage wear.
