I’m referring to the first photo in this post.
In SOLO, young Lando wears a modernized version of that same men’s cape. The studio photos show Lando, played by Billy Dee Williams at the time, in a light blue cape with a gold lining. In The Empire Strikes Back, capes were a stand-out part of Lando Calrissian’s original wardrobe. Lando’s Dark Blue Cape with Blue Satin Lining and Yellow Shirt
#Cloaks and capes movie
The end of the movie takes place in the blazing sun in a sandy town and an ore processing plant. The middle third of the movie is above ground, mostly on spaceships like the Millennium Falcon.
The characters start in dark and dank Cordelia and gradually make it to a brighter world.Ī lot of the first part of the story takes place below ground and in muddy trenches. Third, the colors in the movie get brighter as the movie goes along. Most of the characters they meet on their journey are also striving to escape the Empire and make a life for themselves. Han Solo and Qi’ra start their lives in the abject poverty and powerless circumstances of Cordelia and struggle to make their way to freedom. “Aspirational” is a theme for the movie overall. They wanted to suggest he’s the kind of guy who spends all his money on his wardrobe. The designers thought of Lando’s wardrobe as aspirational-he dresses for the position he wants to have, not the position he has now. And take note of the yellow shirt poking out and the yellow lettering. I don’t know if this is the right photo, but it certainly could have been! I found a whole treasure trove of Marvin Gaye photos in which he wears a black raincoat. In particular, there was one picture of Marvin Gaye that influenced their approach to the men’s capes. The Design Ideas for Lando’s Capes came from Musicians such as Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, James Brown and Prince They more than succeeded, as Lando’s capes became one of the most talked about aspects of the film. They tried to mix the textures and patterns, so there are silk, wool, fur, and leather capes.Īs costume designers their job was to make Lando look incredible onscreen. In the end, they made more than 30 luxurious men’s capes, as well as 30 shirts, 20 scarves, accessories, and shoes.

And also talk about our favorite capes!! The inspiration for Lando’s CapesĬostume Designers Glyn and Dave didn’t set out to create a whole closet full of men’s capes but say Lando’s expansive cape closet kind of happened over the making of the movie, and then became part of the movie marketing. Let’s dive into how the capes, cloaks and costumes for the movie were developed by SOLO costume designers Glynn Dillion and Dave Crossman. The only thing better than seeing the movie would be hanging out in Lando’s cape closet and luxuriating in the silk, and velvet capes. As we reported recently, Lando’s capes are a bountiful collection which he stores in a special closet in his private quarters on the Millennium Falcon. SOLO: A Star Wars Story is a cape lover’s dream come true.
