My name is Heidi and I am a content creator under the name Costume CO.
25 years ago, I specialized in theatre costume at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, and earned a bachelor's degree in Technical Theatre Production. I have created and designed costumes for hundreds of Canadian live-event and theatrical productions, as well as TV and film.
I also worked in the corporate and not-for-profit sector through my costume business, Ms. Dress-Up. Some of my clients included the Royal Ontario Museum, The Toronto Zoo, Casaloma, The Government of Ontario, Icelandic Air, and Virgin Mobile.
In 2017 I launched a KZread channel looking at the costumes on the big screen and small through the eyes of a costumer. My first video was on the costumes of Cersei Lannister, the gloriously dressed villain in HBO's Game of Thrones.
5 years and 200 videos and livestreams later, I am still dedicating my channel to works in high fantasy, science fiction and historical drama.

Virginia's dress is probably loosely inspired by a green and black day gown by Worth.
It is directly inspired!
Thank you! Really hope we get a video on The Empire Striked Back. That film has most of my favorite costumes from the Star Wars films.
It's the best Star Wars movie of all time.
those ventilation sections on the atreides desert uniforms are cursed as shit lol XD
😄
I loved that the Westwood Studios Dune games (particularly Dune 2000 and Emperor Battle for Dune) kept the David Lynch aesthetic and concepts (the Fremen carryin wierding modules from the movie) while also branching creatively (the designs for House Ordos, Baron Rakkan Harkonnen sporting the Harkonnen bull sigil on his back, the Tleilaxu). I particularly love the design of the Bene Gesserit.
Hi there, thank so much for commenting!
Oh my god, the fact that this was achieved in FOUR MONTHS is astonishing.
I know, isn't it crazy!
This was a great video. I love this movie. Saw it first on TV and VHS in the 80s, and later on DVD in the 90s. I love the stillsuit’s in this. Someone here mentioned doing the Sci-fi miniseries. I’m all for that. However, if you do, you should also add the Children Of Dune miniseries that followed. The toned down the costumes in that one. It would be nice comparing the two.
Hi Ghola, I will watch them both. I will likely do the Dune miniseries this summer. Thanks so much for commenting!
Very well done, well researched! Love your take on this.
Thank you kindly!
Great video! I wish they had made an Art of the Chronicles of Ridick book.
I should look into it. Maybe they did.Thanks so much for commenting.
I thought this film had finished disappointing me until you showed The Lady Jessica's knife pleated gown. How did THAT not make the cut?
I know, it's really a shame.
@@Costume_CO Who's the better dressed, The Lady Jessica or Daenerys? Would be quite the showdown!
So the San diego Fire Dept. found a bunch of old body bags and someone said; "I know just the bloke to call about this."
☺️
I didn't know this, will rewatch the movie. Tom, Belgium
She looked good with her dashboard exposed, honestly 🍒
Where's the bloody maester?
Thanks for this. I always wanted to know more about the aesthetics of the movie as well as the costumes.
It's my pleasure nader.
The costumes were unrealistic for those times . I've seen a lot of Tudor programs in my life. Also I doubt the name Kenna was a name they used for that time period
i cant believe i never noticed that that woman isnt helaena omg
Beautiful narration for this video. I actually seen some costume pieces on display at MACY*S on Market Street in San Francisco before '80s DUNE was released. I was never fan of the movie because it was too rushed for a massive novel. However from the model work down to the costumes was impressive. The music was too dated. Even for its time we all knew the soundtrack would be outdated by the late-80s.The scenes taken out from the book were confusing and out of place or missing, especially if you didn't read the book. It was a challenging movie to watch as a viewer. But it is a fun pop cultural film to watch on a Saturday night with fresh butter popcorn. And for the new DUNE movies, they are perfect and respectful to Frank Herbert legacy.
Thank you so much for commenting and sharing.
@@Costume_CO dont forget "2001" 😉
3:53 the "other women" you're referring to is indeed Halaena Targaryen.
Alicent giving Aemond the look. 😂😂😂
I know, her faces are the best!
I adored the womens costumes in this movie. They easily conveyed the wealth, power and strength of the female characters.
Thanks for commenting Solavita!
Really interesting video!! I totally agree, the first uniform was superior
Thanks Ian!
House of Wigs
They're better this season.
I’m definitely appreciating the amount of colorful garments. After how dark latter seasons of GoT became
I totally agree!
Wonderful video! But Aemond doesn’t have Blackfyre. That sword has a flat octagonal pommel while Blackfyre’s pommel is vertical and has seven sides. He does have the cat’s paw though
Hi Neva, thanks so much for commenting. You are correct. Oh well, thought that was a fun Easter egg.
@@thedragondemands5186 Yeah, that's what I thought.
The Lynch stillsuits are one of my favorite things about the film, and while I find the Villeneuve films far superior, its stillsuits are definitely an exception.
Thank you for another very well done video!❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Soooo... Game of Queens is coming back for this new season... right? ❤
Of course!
“The Trailer is often quite dark…” “Oh, ok, so viewer discretion is advised.” “Making it difficult to see.” “Oh.”
Took me a bit to get it. ☺️
Olivia is definitely the costume designer’s favorite
Hi Brian, someone else in the comments said that the Blacks got all the best looks!
I know this film had issues, but the costuming and many of the sets were both otherworldly and timeless, advanced and anachronistic. Thanks for this review and the history of this incredible film.
Hi isaiah! Thank you so much for commenting! I am so happy to see so many positie comments on this flick.
Of course🙄 Taem Black costumes and armor looks better and are better quality they are not biased at all
Oh, you think so? 🤔
It seems the costumes have been improved. Rhaenyra's dresses look amazing!
Yes, new designer for season 2!
I hope you do Rhaena’s costumes. I love the white dress from Pentos and now purple themes in season 2
Hi monie, oh yes, I will cover them for sure.
Oh f*ck yeah, describe me with detail those elaborated garments!
😅
Excellent video
Thanks Aengus!
love the vid! the woman pulling alicent at the riot is definitely helaena though! looks like they were visiting the sept while still in mourning dress
Thanks Nicole!
