Revolutionizing Shakespearean Costume Design with "The Armor"

Samantha Chijona Garcia, a visionary Cuban-Spanish designer, has created "The Armor," a striking costume piece that reimagines the classic armor worn by Richard III. Drawing inspiration from Western and Japanese war pieces, Chijona Garcia modernized the design using recycled materials, such as metallic corset nerves, butcher's chainmail glove, and leather leggings. The costume reflects the character's duality and physical struggles, as depicted in Shakespeare's play.

The armor is a testament to Chijona Garcia's innovative approach to costume design, seamlessly blending historical engineering structures with contemporary materials. The result is a visually stunning and functional piece that captures the vulnerability and complexity of Richard III.

Constructed with six distinct pieces, including a metal structure, leather armor, metal glove, helmet, pants, and boots, "The Armor" showcases meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. The modular design allows for versatile interactions, enabling actors to adapt the costume to the evolving character throughout the theatrical performance.
