Troy costume exhibit
Asterix: Mission Cleopatra

Some of the costumes from 'Troy'' were on exhibit in Hamburg. So I went there and took whatever I could get through my digital camera ;-)

Helena's cream-golden gown (first picture shows the gown in the movie):

The gown was made of at least three, if not four, identical cream-golden woven, Indian saris with pearl beaded borders. If looking at the gown closely you can exactly see where one sari is sewn to the next - but I could not see the backside of the gown.
This is at least a three-piece-gown: The 'cloak', the overdress and an underskirt. The overdress and underskirt are crushed, the cloak is not.
The cloak is bag lined with about 8-10mm habotai silk. The over- and underdress appear not to be lined because of the crushing. The serged hems of the crushed parts are interesting; the thread color is a mid grey for the overdress and a light grey for the underskirt.

Hector's armor (first picture shows the costume in the movie):

This armor is an interesting mixture of blue felt, sewn-on metal-looking poly casted studs, golden painting or printing (which should probably look like golden stitching...) and, as it seems, the fringe of a colorful woven cotton rug. Look at the black twill ribbons which come from the inside of the upper armor at the front of the skirt - I assume that the upper armor was connected with them to the skirt.

Achilles' leather armor (first picture shows the costume in the movie):

Unfortunately this armor was placed in the back of the window, so I could not take too close pictures. I assume this to be 2-3mm thick leather; a bit thicker on the belt.

Hector's and Achilles' helmets (first pictures show the helmets in the movie):

Skillfully made poly casts (!) from real leather helmets. The helmets are definitely casts because the leather structure is still there, but it is definitely not leather what we see here.
Only the "Achilles" helmet (with the 'brush' on top) has leather on the inside - probably to make it smaller. You can see the leather inside perfectly in the picture taken from the front. In this particular picture you can also see something that appears to be 'pen markings' around the eyes and along the 'nose' part.
The 'Hector' helmet has square decorations that look like plasticine squares made by a child

The shoes & gauntlets


Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.
As far as I could, I have credited the original photographers and/or their sites or have mentioned from where I have scanned certain pictures. They remain property of their respective owners.

Kontakt: Bitte schreibt an naergilien@yahoo.de mit dem Wort 'Costume' in der Betreffzeile. Die Mailbox ist so eingerichtet, daß sie alle Mails, die nicht diesen Betreff haben und deren Versender auch nicht auf meiner Whitelist stehen, erst einmal löscht.
Es kann einige Tage dauern, bis ich Euch antworten kann - bitte habt Geduld. Wenn ich nicht innerhalb einer Woche antworte, so habe ich Eure Mail wahrscheinlich nicht erhalten (aus welchem Grunde auch immer) - in diesem Fall schickt sie bitte einfach nochmal los.

Wollt ihr also unbedingt ein Bild von mir irgendwo verlinken, so verlinkt die Seite, auf der sich das Bild befindet (Hinweis: Eine 'Seite' ist in diesem Falle etwas, das in der Adreßzeile Eures Browsers mit 'htm' oder 'html' endet).
