Bloody Disgusting: I’m Dominique Dawson. I’m the costume designer of HIM, and I just wanted to walk you through the process of creating this universe.
The name of the team is the Saviors, and we really wanted to create something that was fresh and new, something that we haven’t seen in a football team before in terms of color, in terms of design aesthetic of jerseys, and just having this kind of surreal edge.

I thought Dominique Dawson’s breakdown of her work on HIM was fascinating. You can really tell how much thought and creativity went into every costume. I liked how she used colors like rose gold and oxblood to make the team feel powerful and strange at the same time, it’s not something you’d really expect to see in football. The Horned Fanatic costume honestly sounds very interesting and terrifying, but also so smart in how it mixes fandom and madness. The pigskin masks for the owners were weird in a good way, because they perfectly show how greedy and corrupt the people running things are. I also loved how she connected fashion to bigger ideas like mental health and identity. It made me realize that costumes aren’t just clothes, they tell the audience exactly who these people are and what kind of world they live in. I would love to read more about her work process.
