Costuming Alien 3: The Nightmare Survives

theartofcostume.com: Listen up, space nerds! It’s Alien Day (April 26th), that time of year when we embark on an intergalactic journey to discuss the costumes of the iconic film series, Alien. Last year, we explored the costumes of the epic 1986 sequel, Aliens. That means it is time to get into the controversial third installment directed by David Fincher, Alien 3 (with that slick stylized spelling, Alien³). Let’s suit up and dive into the universe of Alien costumes!

The costume for this production is truly amazing and have done what costumes are supposed to do within this show. In my opinion, the costume production for this show is truly something that have strike me in what designers can do. This is so extremely inspiring in it provides the film and the movie a new perspective in what they can do and opens up the possibility of costume in films and movie production. In this article, it introduced me to different types of work and research that can be conducted to establish a new creature that does not exist during that time frame. One of the most difficult thing that I can see from this how to make characters seems like that they exist during that period of time. To do this, it requires a large amount of research into things that existed during that time and what it means to have characteristics of that period.
