Check out my video - Dune Part 1: Costume Analysis and Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/goauu8d8g8qnabQ.html

I don't quite remember exactly the outfits that the emperor wore, and I think that was the point. Why would he wear something extremely extravagant and unpractical ? To show his importance ? He is the emperor. He doesn't need an outlandish outfit when he got a platinium plated spaceshit the size of a small moon. He is probably the most powerful individual in the movie, he can wear whatever he wants and what he wants looks like a pajama

The extravagance in the novels is a symptom of House Corrino's waning power. In past eras the dukes of great houses were awed by the emperor in a t-shirt, now they're miffed when he's wearing a solid block of gold. House Corrino has to appear visibly strong to mask their weakness, gilding rot in an attempt to hold onto their power. If anything, having him wear rather plain clothes in the movie makes him seem stronger.

I disagree with basic comments. The whole point of the basic dress (I think) of the imperial house is to show they have little worry about anything. Sorta the theory that those who have the most wealth tend to not show it off. I think the actual costume of the emperor was his throne room/space ship. That imposing structure. That giant silver orb was the real show piece

Something i love about Florence Pugh's costumes is how they evolve through the movie, she begins with nothing on her head to more and more "restrictive" head wears. In the last scene, she has what are basically prison bars accross her face, as the story brings her to one single role she must take: being paul's bride

First thought when seeing Irulans facepiece was that it looked like a chastity belt but with a silver chandler effect. Yet the chainmail somehow made it work as a battlefield piece especially since they can only use bladed weapons.

some of the concept artists for this film used the prokudin-gorsky 'empire that was russia' colour photographs of early 1900s uzbekistan/samarkand & bukhara to quite literally paint over the photos themselves for a few of the costumes seen.

The Harkonen armor/envornmental suits worn in the desrt scenes in Dune 2 , seemed bulky and out of place - which I think was the point. The Harkonen were foreigners; invaders, not in sync with the ways of the desert. This was reflected in their bulky black fishbowl design that fully enveloped the head and upper body.

House Corrino’s power comes from their Sardaukar, famed and feared throughout the Imperium. I saw Princess Irulan’s choice of dress as a respectful nod in their direction. She’s acknowledging the martial nature of her powerbase by wearing faux armor to court. She’s the heir after all, it would be in her best interest to maneuver to secure their loyalty through symbolic gestures such as this. I didnt make the nun connection though, makes sense since she’s Bene Gesserit trained.

3:48 you can find it in algeria too. It is called "heik". Nowdays it almost disapeared. You can still find it around ghardaiya. At the limit between the north of the country and the desert. My mom used to wear it when we used to go on vacation in the oued nail region in the 80/90's. But nowdays you wont find them in the north part anymore. You have to go to ghardaia. It was manily wore by women in the city. Not in the countryside. And in the desert, women wont cover their head and face. It was only the "blue" men. It was very interesting as a kid as according to the region, they wear very different clothes. Men also used to cover their head. They dont do it anymore in the north, but still in the south to protect from the sun. Some even cover their face. (Sorry for my poor english)

Same, Irulan and lady Jessica's costumes are just insane.

Spot on analysis of the Harkonnens - they really ramped up the insectoid imagery in part 2, with the soldiers' beetle/beekeeper like armour and visors like compound eyes. All of their craft and vehicles too, the war vessels similar to cocoons or pupae, spice harvesters like mites, or fat buzzing flies like Rabban's ship. I especially loved the referees (??) in the Harkonnen colosseum scene, like a mix of Atlas beetle or Mantis, gimp and court jester. Absolutely captivating design.

The most interesting Harkonnen costume designs weren't the ones by the main characters in my opinion, with the exception of the Baron and his biomechanical medical support system. The ornithopter gunman with this fly eye-like helmet piece or the weapon's master handing Feyd his dagger before the arena fight, not even to mention those crazy mentat people performing some kind of religious ritual around a planetary control screen. The entire Harkonnen scenery was the stuff of nightmares and a completely amazing set-up for the villains.

Thanks for the great videos, as always. My observations: 1) warm colours are mostly reserved for the fremen, while the metallics, rubber mattresses, sleek velvets and leather are cool-toned 2) i initially was fascinated by irulan's headdress featured on the cover of the video while feeling that every other headdress felt awkward, unfinished or incomplete. Maybe they meant to convey that irulan failed both to become the empress regnant and advance in the ranks of bene gesserit. Little did i know, that my favourite look of the film (apart from lady Jessica's most elaborate veiled reverend mother costume) was almost entirety ripped off from paco rabane's 2020 ***autumn winter collection. What a shame, i really did expect the dune's costumes to be innovative, creative, previously unseen and out of the world (like star wars prequels, lord of the rings) .... And the costume designers just slapped some couture looks together and went for it! The most glaring and infuriating omission is that almost all costumes (except of the fremen) somewhat lack texture. The fabrics, metals and other details look as if they are made specifically to be as smooth as possible, so the end result looks like lovechild of uncanny valley and a statue. Only fremen are dressed creatively and with enormous attention to detail, care for the source material and real-world cultures. The costumes are almost visceral, if one can use that word, in their tactile properties, intricate layers, textures and details. Can't help to be sorely and profoundly disappointed with dune costumes for the second time 😞😢

Hi RARA, yes, sorry. It was like that in the script but I messed up in the record. ❤️

I really like the costume designs in Dune.

Hi Leif, thanks so much for commenting.

My son and i saw it 6 times, every costume in the movie was top notch, and i would pay good money for Bene Gesserit costumes to wear on halloween or at comicon.

I literally did a search yesterday on KZread for Dune II costumes and got nothing. 😂

Hi Springer, as I was doing this review, I only found one article in Vogue about the costumes.

I didn’t like the style they chose for the imperial court, it didn’t feel regal or imposing. Even the palace looked like that mansion that used to be a funerary home that Kim Kardashian bought some years ago. I’m not saying it was bad, because it wasn’t and you can tell that the costume designer and production designer did a lot of research and put great work into it.

Sets weren’t built for the Imperial court. Brion Tomb in Italy was the location they filmed at.

Love the freman outfits.They look believable for its uses

The amazigh / Berber are from North Africa (Morocco / maghreb) not North America as stated.

Hi Edward, that was just my brain swapping it out when I was reading my script. Thank you for commenting.

The real question is where they're getting the fabric from. There's no evidence of plant agriculture so far and they also don't keep any animals. Is all the cloth traded from offworld?

That is so weird appa, I was thinking about this yesterday when one of of other viewers mentioned all of the yards and yards of gauze. I am not a book reader so I wonder if this is addressed in the books.

​​@Costume_CO It is a costume from the musical Guys and Dolls. If you search "mission band costume" on Google, it is dark blue in color, with a cap, jacket and pants with red stripes.

Irulan's outfits just looked more ridiculous from one to the next. The inspirations look more regal than how she wore it lol. If her next outfit was a cow onesie I wouldn't have batted an eye.

Very interesting and well-researched! One constructive note, though: maybe an extra pass of proofreading before recording the narration would help in avoiding a few errors, like a character being referred to as "Reyd-Rautha", and Robbie the Robot being featured in "The Hidden Fortress" (which takes place in a quite robot-less feudal Japan). Cheers!

@@Costume_CO - Sorry, I didn't want my comment to come out as mean, I mostly thought the 'robot-less feudal Japan bit' was funny (especially when considering that "Hidden Fortress" is the film that inspired George Lucas to create C-3PO and R2-D2). That said, I love your videos!

Hi Durnanceau, it didn't come off as mean at all! I think I got myself turned around when I was talking about George Lucas/Ralph Mcquarrie. PS I just interviewed the costume designer of Shogun and he mentioned that he consulted with Kurosawa's daughter for his early research about the costumes.

Hello, in the video you mentioned that berber or Amazigh people its from North America, but this culture its from North Africa. Where I live before the Spanish conquistadors, the berber or Amazigh culture was present in these islands, and nowadays can found many petroglyphs of amazigh o libian scripts, and many types of costumes that are too similar to the continental berebers. Sorry for my bad english, I'm canarian-spanish, from Canary Islands.😊
