Emilie Newell | Filmmaker on Instagram: "Padmé Amidala was never styled for the future. She was dressed through history. Her costumes pull from Kabuki theater, Japanese court dress, Art Nouveau, silent film spectacle, and Pre-Raphaelite painting. Not to decorate her, but to communicate power, lineage, and authority. Costume design is storytelling. Especially for women. #PadmeAmidala #StarWars #FilmCostumeDesign #WomenInFilm #VisualStorytelling #FilmAnalysis #cinemahistory"
