The Art of Costume: Over the past four years, we have celebrated every “Alien Day” by spotlighting the costume design of the first four films that built the Alien universe, first unleashed by legendary director Ridley Scott in 1979. Much like the dormant monsters awaiting their moment to burst from their hosts, the franchise went quiet — until fifteen years later, when Scott returned with Prometheus, a bold new prequel that reignited the nightmare.

My first interaction with the greater ‘Alien’ universe was at Universal/Disney (I cant quite remember which), but there was a ride where the Alien dropped from the sky right above me and from that moment on I knew that I was intrigued yet, good not watching. The science fiction genre is very unique and I tend not to dabble as much as I do in other genres as it freaks me out quite a bit. However, that is honestly a testament to the films as they create a world I am scared to interact with. A large part of this is the costume’s department. From the crew’s costumes to the aliens it is all part of a very cohesive universe, even though it quite literally is out of the universe. Taking on something where you are to costume things that human mind cant even fathom is absurd and something that I applaud Janty Yates for.
