Costume Designer Alicia
I’m Alicia, an artist and costume designer. I try to bring all the crazy, beautiful ideas in my mind to life. I’m a seamstress and artist. I do custom orders and make anything from mirrors to gowns to costumes and jewelry. I love a challenge and to play with my own nutty ideas.
The idea of a super hero is relatively simple, merely coming up with a being with powers you desire, or lack there of as the case may be. You come up with the type and move from there. Usually costumes are based upon the type of the hero, or the powers( ie the more animlistic influece of wolverines yellow and black costume, or the american colors for soldier boy captain america); or what looks really cool. Not always tight spandex, though extremely popular. The long capes, cloaks, and trench coats create a mystery, or super imposing figure. Stereo typically on women, the sexier the better. Though it is highly possible to create a functional and sexy costume with the right designer. The right body type can also be made to fit your character, enhancing or covering certain aspects to create the perfect character.
