With Star Wars: Andor in the history books and the long wait until the second season waiting to be filled with numerous other GFFA projects and events, the looks and styles of Andor are waiting to be translated into fan-made versions seen at events around the globe, including Star Wars: Celebration. Speaking with Kristin Baver, costume designer Michael Wilkinson discusses the clothing seen in the show, and how important they are to the wider story of Andor.
“I really enjoy playing with the language of clothes. We wanted these things to be so rich with meaning and deserve repeated viewings that you could go deeper with it all. And, you know, it’s the only way that I really know how to work, to actually construct these backstories and worlds and civilizations so that everything has meaning. Otherwise, it’s fashion design, not costume design.”
We were recently fortunate enough to be included in a roundtable with Michael, which you can listen to below or by clicking here.
