The Genius Costume Design of 'Mad Max: Fury Road' | Behind the Seams

[@matthewassarian4247]

I teach a class on architecture and actually showed this video during my unit on Architecture of the Future. We typically don’t think about “architecture” in post-apocalyptic scenarios, but I remembered director George Miller talking about the people in such a future creating things of beauty because they’d have so little of it around them, so I checked out youtube to see what I could find on the topic. There wasn’t much, but finding this video, the connection between architecture and fashion through the concept of imagination, design, and especially resourcefulness, when it came to utilizing the materials at hand to create something striking that had never existed before, sent me and my class down a bit of a rabbit hole. One of my students, who professes to never have had much interest in fashion before, is now writing their final paper about the overlap between fashion and architecture, which is considerable and growing more so by the day. Thank you so much for the video. I don’t know if you ever imagined your work having an effect on a non-fashion audience, but you have lit up the minds and expanded the perception of a group of architecture students in Massachusetts, of their own, non-fashion-related chosen profession, no less. Bravo and thank you, again.

I'm so down for this series. I started reading your articles years ago starting with the fashion design elements, and this is a natural and glorious evolution of that. Subscribed and looking forward to more!

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy the show!

I don't even think the wives had shoes- I think it's implied that furiosa stole some war boy boots for them. Just another power play on joe's part to try and make them feel weak and helpless

[@behindtheseams300]

That's such a good point, can't believe I didn't put that in the video!

[@lianlawrence5671]

I know it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?

[@lianlawrence5671]

@Dante Valentin thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it !

[@dantevalentin4395]

@Lian Lawrence happy to help =)

[@OrinPosner]

I just rewatched Fury Road last night - wow what a masterpiece. Your analysis, as ever, is fascinating and on point.

[@ypsilon42]

Love the video! I am really looking forward to more of this series. My favorite thing about the Mad max costume is probably the symbolic costume additions the wives get, when they join the many mothers

[@rbush88]

Costumes are an element I always forget to pay close attention to, so I've always loved your writing about them - it gets me to appreciate another layer of storytelling. So happy you'll be doing videos on them now too!

[@behindtheseams300]

thank you, glad you enjoyed the videos! :))

[@zekepena1069]

Excellent review and breakdown of this film!

[@behindtheseams300]

[@jennebergstrom]

Yes me too, I so fondly remember your posts about Nolan on Revenge 😄

[@MionBou]

Mee too, since i found your post about Only lovers left alive 💪

[@mvseelam5415]

This was really interesting! I want to rewatch the movie now and pay more attention to the costume details :) P.s. I really like your podcast with Morgan

[@gabyb5280]

I'm also an Overinvested fan. I haven't been on social media for a bit so it was a treat to come back and discover this!!

[@dannirowan]

Loved it! I've not really thought about films from this angle and love finding a new way to look at movies. I like the way you linked the costume choices to the wider themes of the franchise.

[@wingnutlady]

I've read so much analysis about this movie over the years, but I still learned tons from this video, I love it!

[@saramortz]

[@jenniferflach8879]

This was so interesting! Definitely enhanced my appreciation of the film. Looking forward to watching more

[@inklingofadream]

I'm so excited for this, the first thing of yours I ever read was your blogspot posts analyzing the costumes in Winter Soldier, I'm jazzed to see more of that kind of thing!

[@behindtheseams300]

[@spidertrans2282]

my favorite mad max costume is the leather jacket jenny beavan wore to accept her oscar for costume design in fury road.

[@beckmannm]

Yes! Love that you started with MMFR! (Though I hope this doesn't mean that we'll never get an Overinvested ep about this movie ☺️)

[@Furore2323]

Cool.

[@choppergirl]

I feel Purrrrr now

[@Eph_Wilson]

Nice!

[@rustygazes256]

Actually the war boys spray face as it is a inhalant that suppress pain, and feeling of euphoria.

[@battyrae1398]

hell yeah!

[@AlexRoivas]

In Mad Max 1, one of the real bikers that was in the mlvie was actually Chris Hemsworths father.

[@tz64nk41]

*slides you a 20* what does the costuming in Emily in Paris tell you

[@behindtheseams300]

[@craigburt9209]

2nd of these videos I've watched and the last. 1st was full of political propaganda, this one that, and misandry. The non-existent far-right violence and toxic-masculinity.

[@Meme_Merchant]

you are way off
