Kanyinsola Ajose-Adeogun C’mon man, Nigeria is almost always referenced when people mention African culture. My dads Zambian and I never here that country mentioned in anything.

Dominic 'The Lord' Kabinga That’s unfortunate and I think all African countries should be mentioned more and there should be more diversity in film, but it’s nice to have my country mentioned without the negative connotations that are usually associated with it.

Kanyinsola Ajose-Adeogun That is so cool! I am waiting for those Hollywood peeps to wake up to the possibilities with Indian fashion, but I can wait.

Even some of the characters names are Nigerian...okoye [igbo tribe] ,njidaka [igbo tribe], ayo [yoruba tribe]

Kanyinsola Ajose-Adeogun agreed!!!

gonaye1 😂😂😂 clever

gonaye1 😂😂😂😂 perfect comment

I want this post pinned at the top.

A standing round of applause for the winner

LMAO Perfect!

??? ??? - 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

And every part came together perfectly. A feast for the eyes. It'll take multiple viewings to catch all detail,

The costumes alone took my breath away! I hope she finally gets the Oscar and all the accolades her team deserves

Yes! They did this with the score of the movie as well, with the African talking drum and an 808 machine in T'challa's theme as well, for an example.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE! I can't think of a film with better costuming this year.

First thing I thought too! The breadth of materials, influences, and artistry is jaw dropping.

Hint: every costume designer does this

I totally agree, the way the film combined traditional clothing with modern technology is amazing

Yawovi E. Watch shazam or aquaman get the oscar lol

see I freaking love the movie so much. It doesnt make any sense😂

I strongly recommend the concept art book if you haven't acquired it already, it's a thing of beauty!

It wasn't that good. It was just good.

That So Landon oh it's THAT good

Ms Inkypunk ooooo!!!!!!

Drew Ferrandini It gives the universe of the film texture. Makes it more lived in. Gives me a solid reason to go back for a rewatch.

One of my favourite details I didn't notice in the movie is the throne room. It is inscribed with the written language of the Leopard People and the floor is glass because the room is built above the ancient meeting place of the tribes shown in the prologue.

Right! I'm thinking about it.

I love it, bc it encourages you to get deeper into the underlying cultures. The movie in general just gives you a hint of Africa and wherever you look, it just keeps on showing you more and more things you can learn about.

I love things like this. Things maybe folks don't pick up on completely or even notice, but that the movie wouldn't be the same without. You'd absolutely notice if the quality was less than this high level

lucky you!!!!!!! genuinely jealous

homeless dennis It was a wonderful honour!

@@Costume_CO Plug your link, girl!!!

@@Costume_CO do you have a link

OMG YOU DIDDDD!!! :D

bobigghhb 3 - I agree.

It should be like this video but I could absolutely listen to her talk about the the design elements for hours.

BoBiggHHB 3 she held an exhibition that showcase all of her works. I watched it on Netflix. She’s such a class act

Netflix has a documentary series called Abstract. Has an episode dedicated to her!

@@qianyang4217 Just seen it last week! It was magnificent!

Supposedly it took about 8 months worth of research

that is in fact the job of a costume designer (some pretty rad folks they are)

Ok, thanks. This is something that "we" take for granted. ☕☕

Cup o' Joe surely enough to write a book

That is how all art is supposed to be

Yup

Awsamazing Eden its going to be suicide squad lol jk

Swear to Hanuman!

Awsamazing Eden glory to Hanuman

Awsamazing Eden 🙅‍♂️(salute)

She got it.

chouji08 zit’s a great combination of tradition and technology. Fits perfectly in Wakanda

Cool story.

is 3d printing common in costume making now ?? I was really surprised when she mentionned that

Chouji I'm curious how did you know. I love 3D printing and i didn't think for a second that her hat was made that why. Would love to hear how you knew immediately

Yup! They did it on the Victora's Secret runway back in 2013.

Erica Street if she doesn’t win an Oscar for this I’ll be highly disappointed.

If she doesn't win it, I'll be pissed! Like her mind...

Tokyo Oscar committees are just her peers, it's not divine judgment.

Kevin Zhang I know but it’s a prestigious award none the less.

Samflower wow that’s a defeatist attitude lol

Probably a billion dollar 3d printer haha

@@maxhydekyle2425 or a $500 printer, but designing a way for the pieces to snap together in a design app.

Brian Konyeaso what is that like having tho two sides of your family ?

I mean, it is actually pretty cool, since I have both sides, I can celebrate 3 Christmases a year, mostly 2, and I also went to Nigeria where I spent Christmas with my other relatives there and some of my cousins that were born in Nigeria and came to America came with us too. I love my life right now.

Brian Konyeaso so u african******

Aade Lí he has ties to Africa but he is American. Hence African American. He seems to not have been born in Africa, so I don’t know why you’re correcting him. He knows what he is lol

Bob Pickleson XD, yeah you're right

Lehakwe Tloti I saw Black Panther not long after watching a video about Lesotho on Geography Now(a YT channel) and noticed the blankets in the movie. I though it was so cool to see something I’d just learned about shown in such a big film

Ke moXhosa and I can't explain the amount of excitement I had when I saw the basotho blanket

They were BEAUTIFUL

Bra

Yes and the Zulu isicotho....then they spoke broken Xhosa🤣🤣

Phillipenis Barbalooch wut...

Riight I wish i was South African pple dont know my country of origin 🤣its right below South Africa

It's neat as heck - I wonder if it's sold anywhere

I want a Kimoyo Bead bracelet SO BADLY, they look so cool!

Same

their outfits were pretty sleek

mb didn't want to spoil it

Mbaku tribe, costume and wooden helmets were very interesting. The man that played him is a very strong actor with great register behind his words.

Winston Duke

OIlie Warren you know she won't. Unfortunately

She better win, if Suicide Squad (one of the worst movies of 2016) can win an Oscar for Best Makeup, she’s more than qualified to win costume design for Black Panther.

OIlie Warren I'll tear out the throats of the judges if they don't 🙂

She did! Lol

@@mihawk508 prediction got wrong mate

But she's not gonna win

@@tysopiccaso8711 You were saying?

She got it.

Amen to that

She won't

Cuddle Cakez why are you on every comment saying she won't win we won't know till it happens so chill

The winner will probably someone who designed for a period movie that looks exactly like what people wore at the time....which is boring. No one really appreciates creativity anymore, especially at the Oscars

@@tysopiccaso8711 She did.

Certainly deserves it more than Suicide Squad.

I Agree, it's so beautiful all the details; and it really helps establish all the characters.

Suicide Squad won in the Makeup and Hairstyling category. Black Panther will likely get a nomination in the Costume Design category.

While I agree that this is an incredible research effort and the amount of thought that went into it is insane and super interesting, I dare you to say Tudor fashion is boring. The Renaissance saw a change in fashion that wouldn't be met again until the rise of the hemlines in the 20th century. I mean, hair was being worn openly, cleavage was shown, more underskirts were being worn and even substituted in order to make clothes appear even bigger. Mens fashion started to change rapidly as well. After the Renaissance there was barely a single piece of clothing that looked the same and had the same purpose it had before. If you want to call something boring, then please take a different era for it (for example most movies set in modern times). Ok, sorry for my rant. But once you look into it, European Renaissance fashion is just as interesting as traditional African clothing, you just have more stereotypes about it, bc it gets referenced a lot more.

+Graup Tudor, Renaissance, and Elizabethan clothes are not boring. However, the fact that they always get nominated/win makes it boring and predictable. And that's what the comment is about. The costuming in Black Panther is fresh and imaginative because we've never seen designs like this. We've seen numerous interpretations of what Queen Elizabeth wore, but never an African queen in the 21st century with advance tech. And the way Ruth Carter describes her design process, how the beads on the Dora is passed down mother to daughter, or how they 3D printed Angela Bassett's headdress. It's awe inspiring

gone again When you do something you love it’s worth the sweat, blood and tears

Dominic 'The Lord' Kabinga African clothing is so beautiful and colorful. I need some African clothes ASAP 😭

But what would the class be? Costume Design in Modern Cinema? African Culture in Cinema? Culture and Technology in Modern Cinema?

@@canaisyoung3601 culture and technology in modern cinema

It's a great movie and not meant only for black people. Just enjoy

We are Africans not black that’s what the man white calls us

They’re West African/Nigerian traditional wear

Beautiful

@@noveldixon9963 ditto

There's an episode about her on Netflix: Abstract ✴️

Just cause the person you wanted to win didn't? 😂

@@tysopiccaso8711#wakandaforever

Lianet Chavez I agree women are creative. When I go to a male friend's house it looks so plain and bland. When you go to a female's house everything is decorated and well put together.

manansis86 😂😂😂 am not saying every guy is like that because guys can be real creative too but the majority are😂😂😂

That was Ryan Coogler, the director and co-writer of BP.

@@Costume_CO omg you are here!!!

Yes but all can agree most men and women at Disney are the best of the best (except new marvel hero snowflack and safespace)

Shao Xun Leong i assume that the shamans of wakanda don't have a letter in front? in the scene with young t'chaka and n'jobu and zuri, he said he was 'zuri, son of badu' his father badu doesn't have a letter in front either, and zuri grew up to be shaman so i assume that badu was shaman before zuri took over, probably due to retirement or death.

UltimateKyuubiFox they always just copy each other and call it an achievement.

UltimateKyuubiFox You are right! So many movies have such great fashion and costuming that _aren't_ about medieval European aristocracy, yet it feels like that is all that wins in Oscars.

UltimateKyuubiFox In the last 4 years, the costume design award has gone to The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mad Max: Fury Road, Fantastic Beasts, and Phantom Thread so the Academy is not that rigid anymore.

Vino sitas To say that they “copy” each other is silly. You know very well that they’re going for historical accuracy in those costumes. Historical accuracy is a good thing. Just because you can’t appreciate the nuances and differences among different European cultures in different countries and time periods doesn’t mean that they’re all copies. So far, Black Panther is my top contender for Best Costume Design (for the year) but let’s not resort to silliness.

How very victim complex of you

It makes me happy that the Ndebele and Xhosa were represented. I'm half Ndebele and Half Xhosa😊!!

Yes, and the Turkana too

Now you don't need to be

i did the exact same thing haha

lol she also mispronounced danai’s name but kaloola kinda made me chuckle

snowball platypus she also pronounced W'Kabi as "Wakabe" lol
