Game of Thrones-Embroidery


Part of what makes Game of Thrones my favorite show is the amazingly impressive costumes. Michele Clapton has won 2 Emmys for her work as costume designer for Thrones. Today I'm looking at the incredible amount of attention paid to EACH of the costumes. Michele Carragher did this intensely intricate embroidery that tells the story of both the character's history and the significance of that particular event. For example, Sansa's wedding dress (first image below) shows a fish and wolf intermingling on her lower back. This represents the families of her parents. On her back is a prominent lion to represent the family in which she is marrying into. The extreme amount of care that went into making each of these costumes is incredible!
