Red Death ~ UK Royal Albert Hall Version
Easily the most complicated & complex costume in all of Phantom! This massive undertaking took hundreds and hundreds of hours to complete, and is inspired by the costume Ramin Karimloo wore as the Phantom.
The main part of the costume consists of a doublet with elaborate sleeves, and breeches. The doublet is made from panels of silk velvets, crushed velvet, and brocades. These are trimmed with metallic twisted cord in shades of gold, black, and wine. Gold tipped-ribbons made from various brocades used in the costume hang over the skirting. Large bows handmade from many yards of ribbons and brocade, adorned with jeweled appliqués, decorate the center front.
The paned sleeves curve over three tiers of puffed brocade attached to a sleeve base. The panes have many layers to aid them both visually and structurally. Along with being different sizes, they have different elements inside of them to keep the shape depending on the placement. They are trimmed in metallic gold bias tape. A good portion of these sleeve must be completely hand-sewn to ensure correct placement and the desired look. The cuffs match the elaborate sleeves and end in a ruffled metallic gold & black fabric, which is also seen around the collar.
The breeches have a similar paneled theme as the doublet, except that they are placed on a diagonal. They consist of wine silk velvet, crushed velvet, and metallic brocade, with twisted cord trim and sequined jacquard trim between each panel. They also have a vertical panel on the outer sides of black velvet, which feature the same custom bows used in the doublet. The lowest bow has golden laces, chains, and beaded strands dangling from it. There is also a removable codpiece that ties on to the front of the breeches.
The elaborate cape boasts almost 30 yards of pure silk dupioni. The double-layered cape is trimmed at the hem in gold and black ribbons. Atop the shoulders sit two large silk bows with brocade-lined ribbons hanging from them. Large golden tassels and ropes cascade around the front. The cape has a few different loops hidden in it: The traditional one most often seen, where the cape is carried over the right wrist. But the cape can also be worn down for dramatic photoshoot purposes. Hidden loops on both of the side fronts are included for both function of carrying the cape, and also the ability to spread the cape wide on both arms.
Accessories include red stockings, custom-made shoes, and the elaborate hat. The shoes are made from the crushed velvet seen in the costume and the same decorative bows. The hat was made custom, decorated with the same crushed velvet, and adorned with golden trims, and glass crystals in white and gold. Many plumes adorn the hat, including both real and artificial ostrich plumes dyed red and black, as well as coque tail feathers in the same hues.
The client will have a custom-made Red Death mask when he wears this costume - I’ll be sure to share photos when they surface!!
