A$47.10
Costume designer Ruth E. Carter has shaped the story of the Black experience on screen―from the eighties streetwear of DO THE RIGHT THING to the royal regalia of COMING 2 AMERICA. Her costume design on Marvel’s BLACK PANTHER not only brought Afrofuturism to the mainstream, but also made her the first Black winner of an Oscar in costume design. In this definitive book, Carter shares her origins and recounts anecdotes from dressing the greats. She describes the passion for history that inspired her period pieces―from MALCOLM X to AMISTAD―and her journey into Afrofuturism―including the highly anticipated BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER. Carter’s wisdom and stories are paired with sketches, mood boards, and film stills. At its core, Carter’s oeuvre celebrates Black heroes and sheroes, whether civil rights leaders or Wakandan warriors. This book is sure to inspire the next generation of artists and storytellers.
