The Musical, my vision for the costumes of the cast are mainly casual
and comfortable clothing due to the setting being an island in Greece. The time period of this
musical is early the early 2000s. Some fashion trends that I incorporated were large sunglasses,
jean skirts, overalls, halter tops, cargo and capri pants. The color scheme of the clothing pieces
contain a lot of whites and blues, as well as floral or hawaiin print. I used these colors and prints
because they represent Greece’s beautiful beaches and iconic white architecture. Some
common clothing pieces for the male characters include swim trunks, tank tops, and t-shirts.
The most used type of clothing for the female characters are dresses because they capture
island life perfectly with how flowy and simple they are. For the “Donna and the Dynamos”
performance, their group costume is inspired by ‘70s fashion due to the bellbottoms and flared
sleeves.
