Back to our series of articles about stage costumes used in today’s popular movies and serials. In this article, we will take a closer look at the outfits of Game of Thrones’ matriarch Olenna Tyrell. She’s a very interesting character, and many of her attires are based on real Medieval clothing articles and fashion trends. Especially, Olenna’s headdresses. They are traditional and appropriate, but charming and beautifully adorned at the same time. So, let's get right to the costumes.
A Thorn Amidst the Roses, 1887, by James Sant (1820-1916)
Heinrich Lefler (7 November 1863, Vienna – 17 March 1919, Vienna) was an Austrian painter, graphic artist and stage designer. Now, he illustrated a lot of books together with his brother-in-law Joseph Urban ((May 26, 1872, Vienna – July 10, 1933, New York City) Austrian-American architect, illustrator and scenic designer), so I don't know which parts of these illustrations are to be credited to which man.
Futurist and Constructivist architecture share an angular, industrial look. They look mechanical, show off angles and curves and cantilevers not possible before high tensile steel, and are aggressively different from anything traditional. They're supposed to look like tomorrow.
