Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Working alongside the film's costume designer, we created more than 70 armoured costumes for the Naboo Palace Guards, as well as several pieces including Anakin Skywalker's pod racing helmet.
The challenge faced was to create elegant sets of body armour without making them appear too futuristic. The finished suits would have to fit with the directors vision, while at the same time avoiding materials and fastenings that could be recognised as contemporary.
